Aimed at continuing with the theme of 'Be Fit and Be Cool', the convention will have a unique health walk from the Sunset Station, he said.

Nina Davuluri, the first ever Indian American to be crowned Miss USA will speak at AAPI Women's Forum Session, while noted chef Sanjay Thumma will present tasty and healthy food.

The convention will also have an AAPI bone marrow drive, professional plenary sessions and lively Bollywood entertainment by stars all the way from India, Shah said.

The continuing medical education programme will provide updates in diabetes, lipids, cardiology, women's health, psychiatry, oncology, pulmonary medicine, pain management, and maternal foetal medicine.

"The AAPI Convention offers an opportunity to meet directly with top physicians who are leaders in their fields and play an integral part in the decision-making process regarding new products and services," Seema Jain, vice-president of AAPI, said.
