AKMG Association of Kerala Medical Graduates

AKMG {Association of Kerala Medical Graduates} has been the premier and pioneer Alumni Organization in North America {USA and Canada} for Medical and Dental specialists of Kerala origin, since its inception in 1979-80, thereby setting the precedent for an organization of healthcare professionals of any ethnic or international origin in North America. There are several medical/dental professional organizations in North America which have come in to existence and prospered after emulating the AKMG model, including AAPI {American Association of Physicians from India}, TANA etc. Kerala origin medical professionals began arriving in the US since the 1950's. This was a break in tradition, as the United Kingdom was the only destination that the medical graduates from the Indian subcontinent preferred even as of the 1950's.
