Building on the success of the MAPI Spring CME, Summer CME was a success.

The MAPI Summer 2010 CME, which focused on Clinical Update Medicine, was held on Sunday, June 13, at the Troy Marriott Hotel in Troy.

The Program began with registration and breakfast, and was followed by Welcome Remarks by MAPI President Dr. Yash Shah, M.D. and a conference overview by Summer CME Chair Dr. Rajwant Malhotra, M.D.

There were several breakout sessions on topics including: "Advances in the Diagnosis & Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis", "Pathophysiology of Pain and its Management in Painful Spinal Conditions", "Hypertension Update--A Focus of Achieving Blood Pressure Target" and "Paradigm Shift in Colon Cancer Therapy -- Bench Research to Clinical Milestone."

The MAPI Auxiliary program featured sessions on "Smart Wealth Management Decisions and Retirement Planning for Women" and "Hair Care."

The Michigan Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (MAPI) was founded in 1976 by a small group of gallant physicians of Indian origin. These founders defined and structured this organization as the first to support the international medical graduates of Indian origin. MAPI soon evolved into a larger entity as additional Indian physicians dedicated their time to the worthy causes of MAPI. In 1982, MAPI gave birth to a larger umbrella organization, the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), a national professional organization.

MAPI focuses primarily on issues surrounding practice of medicine by its members. It conducts educational activities through various professional channels and Continuing Medical Education (CME) meetings. Past speakers have included renowned physicians and high-ranking officers of various national medical associations, political leaders, and financial executives.

MAPI officers and members have voiced their opinions at both state and national levels. In addition, they have participated in medical associations throughout county and state levels in Michigan as well as at the national level in Washington D.C. Its members have consistently exhibited their abilities and reliance in various organizations including MAPI, AAPI, the Michigan State Medical Society (MSMS), and the American Medical Association (AMA).
