The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) has honored Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, a clinical-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company at its 33rd Annual Convention and Scientific Assembly on June 19, 2015 in Orlando.
The annual convention was attended by nearly 2,500 physicians of Indian origin and their families.
Provectus was recognized by AAPI, the largest ethnic medical association of physicians in the United States, for helping to develop AAPI’s Global Clinical Research and Trial Network. This network focuses on patient recruitment and clinical research.
Dr. Seema Jain, President of AAPI, praised the pioneering initiatives of Provectus in AAPI’s clinical trial and research program, and she expressed deep appreciation for sponsoring the activities of AAPI this year. She recalled of the Company’s participation and support for AAPI, which began with AAPI’s 2015 Global Healthcare Summit in Mumbai, India, January 2-4, 2015.
Dr. Ravi Jahagirdar, MD, the immediate Past President of AAPI, said, “AAPI welcomes the support of Provectus Biopharmaceuticals as we pursue our goals. The Company’s pioneering work in our Global Clinical Research and Trial Network has set a standard for other firms, and we are look forward to developing this network with the continued assistance of Provectus.”
Peter Culpepper, CFO and COO, of Provectus said, “Provectus is very proud of the honor AAPI has given us in recognition of our work with the organization. AAPI represents a key group within the American healthcare system. One in every seven American patients is seen by an Indian doctor, and this ratio is even higher in the smaller towns and underserved areas due to the larger proportion of Indian doctors in more remote locations.”
“In addition, these physicians have close ties through family and friends to every segment of Indian society, a nation of one billion people, and they are especially well-placed to work with officials in India’s healthcare system and government. Our work with AAPI is mutually beneficial, and Provectus looks forward to deepening and broadening our relationship in the coming months and years.”
Delegates of AAPI represent nearly 100,000 Physicians, Fellows, and Residents in the United States. At the annual conference, AAPI provided an enriching platform for members comprised of medical, mental health, and dental physicians in American to engage with the latest in medical technology, research and advances in the world of all types of medicine and dental care. The convention included CME and DME accredited courses as well as variety of panel discussions, presentations and a research competition.
There were forums for AAPI Young Physicians Group (AAPI YPS) and for AAPI MSRF for medical students, residents and fellows. A nearly sold out Exhibitor Hall included medical and pharmaceutical products, jewelry, fashion designs, devices and equipment and medical and dental, practice-related services.
