Welcome to American Association of
Cardiologists of Indian Origin (AACIO)
AACIO provides a central
forum for physicians and scientists of Indian origin, living in the United
States, who have interest in Cardiovascular Medicine.
We are committed to
promote
and maintain high standard of academic excellence and clinical practice of
cardiology through educational, social, and scientific activities. We maintain
close liaison with local, national, and international cardiovascular societies
and organizations. We also address the special cardiovascular health problems of
the Indian community in the US.
AACIO - Past, Present and Future
The American Association of Cardiologists of
Indian Origin (aacio.org) was formed in 1986 and after crossing puberty, the
organization has reached the excited stage of youth after nineteen years. In
this article, I want to review the past, present, and future of this
organization.

Semi-annual Dinner Meetings
AACIO conducts semi-annual dinner meetings at
convenient locations across the country. They are usually coordinated with
American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology meetings to make
it convenient for you to visit. Typically our dinner meetings consists of
nationally renowned speakers addressing important issues in cardiovascular
medicine and of course lavish gourmet Indian cuisine. Our recent dinner
meetings have been a phenomenal success with over 200 cardiologists attending
the ACC meet in Atlanta and over 300 in ACC meet in New Orleans
where our guest of honor U.S. congressman Bobby Jindal was thrilled to see the
enthusiasm and participation of the Indian cardiologists.
