WEST END, N.C. – FirstHealth of the Carolinas is pleased to welcome Deepa Ramaswamy, D.O., to our care team at Family Medicine – Seven Lakes.
A Raleigh native, Ramaswamy earned her medical degree from DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine at Lincoln Memorial University. She completed her master's in Global Health Studies at Georgetown University and received a Bachelor of Science in Public Health Studies from East Carolina University.
Ramaswamy also completed a family medicine residency at Southern Regional AHEC in Fayetteville in June 2024.
Ramaswamy said she is excited to join the Family Medicine team and looks forward to serving patients. “I am excited to be at FirstHealth because of the culture, community and family atmosphere the care team provides,” she said.
Ramaswamy said the inspiration to pursue her medical degree came during her time at Georgetown.
“My ‘Aha!’ moment came during my time in graduate school for global health. I realized I had a deep passion for patient education, and family medicine is all about education and focusing on community needs,” she said. “It was the best decision I’ve ever made.”
Outside of work, Ramaswamy said she loves to spend time with family and her new puppy. She also loves to read, hike, walk and swim.
