Greater Washington Association of Physicians of Indian Origin
About Greater Washington Association of Physicians of Indian Origin
Based in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the Greater Washington Association of Physicians of Indian Origin represents a unified community of Indian American physicians dedicated to excellence in patient care, teaching, research, and professional development. Founded in 2014, GWAPI emerged from a collaborative vision to create a larger platform where physicians could pursue their aspirations in professional and community affairs while maintaining strong connections to their heritage and values.
What sets GWAPI apart is its commitment to community-driven healthcare and social responsibility. The organization actively supports local philanthropic initiatives championed by its members, including Red Cross blood drives, community free clinics, cancer awareness campaigns, and mental health support programs. GWAPI believes that strength lies in unity, and this philosophy extends to providing healthcare, support, and wellness services to indigenous communities throughout the greater Washington region.
Beyond traditional physician networking, GWAPI fosters meaningful connections among diverse professionals—from healthcare practitioners to entrepreneurs and emerging scholars—creating an ecosystem where innovation and compassionate care thrive together. The association's vision encompasses not just professional advancement but also social responsibility and community stewardship. With a membership base exceeding 500 physicians and growing, GWAPI continues to organize regular events, volunteer opportunities, and educational programs that reflect the organization's deep commitment to serving both the medical profession and the broader Gaithersburg and greater Washington community with integrity and excellence.
