Dr. Ujamlal Kothari was a founding leader of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI). Recognizing the barriers faced by internationally trained physicians, he helped unite Indian American doctors into a national professional organization dedicated to advocacy, mentorship, and public service. His leadership laid the institutional foundation for AAPI’s campaign to secure greater representation for international medical graduates within organized medicine and strengthened the voice of immigrant physicians across the United States.
