Dear OGKMA Member,

        I am glad you are visiting our website. As the newly elected president and on behalf of our executive body, I welcome and thank you for your confidence. If you are not a member, I urge you to become one immediately! Please update your information on the website as soon as possible.

        This organization represents Osmania, Gandhi and Kakatiya, the three active medical schools of Hyderabad and Warangal (formerly under Osmania University and currently under A.P. University of Health Sciences). It has over 4000 physicians in the USA - our strength is in our membership . This is one of the oldest medical school alumni organizations and has produced several leaders of AAPI. In recent years, however, it appears that we haven't been quite connecting with our younger generations. Our present executive body, comprised of young and energetic members, pledged to change this and bring new enthusiasm and energy to our organization. I request you to become actively involved and participate in various activities. Your participation and feedback is vital in shaping this organization in coming years.

        Our three schools completed initial phase of their individual projects successfully, but this leads us to the next phase of careful maintenance of these projects. This task needs continued dedication and sacrifice. To learn more details, please follow the links to our individual projects. Our annual meeting in Washington , DC during Labor Day weekend was a grand success! Highlights included a state-of-the-art CME program with eminent, nationally-recognized speakers and a live music program - our guests included AAPI president Dr. Vinod Shah and others.

        I would like to thank our executive committee for their hard work and congratulate outgoing Presidents Hyma Kandula (OGKMA) and Surender Sanku (AAPI) for a job done well. I look forward to their guidance in the coming year. Similarly, I would like to thank many of the senior members -without their vision and efforts, this organization would not succeed.

        Our goal is to reignite passion and energy into the membership and look forward to work with each of you in the coming year. Thanks again and Happy Holidays.


Warmest Personal Regards,

Anand Kishore
President, OGKMA
