PHILADELPHIA — Noel M. Deep, M.D., MACP, has been elected to the Board of Regents of the American College of Physicians (ACP), the national organization of internal medicine physicians, related sub-specialists and medical students.
His term began on Saturday, April 20 at the conclusion of ACP’s Annual Business Meeting. The Board of Regents is the main policy-making body for the College.
“It is probably so far the pinnacle of my accomplishments, because this is not just a national, but an international organization,” Deep said in an interview with the Antigo Journal. “The American College of Physicians has over 160,000 members and chapters not just in every state in the United States, but now they’ve expanded to Europe, Asia, including India, Japan. You have chapters in Central and South America.
“So you are part of this select group of people, 26 regents on the national level. You are part of an organization that represents internal medicine physicians and subspecialists including cardiologists and pulmonologists. So definitely if you look at the governance of all these things, it’s probably the highest of them all.”
Dr. Deep became a Fellow of the American College of Physicians (FACP) in 2007. Fellowship is an honorary designation that recognizes ongoing individual service and contributions to the practice of internal medicine. In 2022 he was elected into Mastership (MACP), which recognizes outstanding and extraordinary career accomplishments.
Dr. Deep earned his medical degree from Osmania Medical College and completed his residency in internal medicine at the Chicago Medical School of the Rosalind Franklin University of Health Sciences. He is currently the Regional Medical Director of the Aspirus Medical Group and Chief Medical Officer at Aspirus Langlade Hospital. He is also a physician in multispecialty group practice with Aspirus Antigo Clinic and a staff physician at Aspirus Langlade Hospital. Additionally, he serves as a clinical assistant professor at the Medical College of Wisconsin.
Deep thanked the local community for their warmth to him and his family since they arrived almost 25 years ago.
“My wife and I are ever grateful to Aspirus Langlade Hospital,” Deep said. “The community, they accepted us. It is a big part of who we are, and our professional growth and development here all started from the welcoming spirit that Aspirus Langlade Hospital, the staff, and the leadership have shown — and subsequently from Aspirus Medical Group and Aspirus Medical Clinics. They’ve all allowed us to flourish here, to grow, spread our wings.”
Outside of his positions, Deep has remained an active member of ACP. He has been a member of the Wisconsin chapter of ACP since 2008. He has also served as a member of several ACP committees, including ACP Delegation to the American Medical Association House of Delegates, Wisconsin Chapter Executive Committee, ACP Services PAC Board, Chapters Subcommittee, International Medical Graduate Advisory Group, Immunization Committee, and Awards Committee. He served as Vice-Chair of the Ethics, Professionalism and Human Rights Committee from 2019 to 2022 and the Wisconsin Chapter Health and Public Policy Committee in 2022. He also served as the Secretary to the Wisconsin Chapter Governor’s Advisory Council from 2013 to 2017, Parliamentarian to the Board of Governors from 2019 to 2022, and Representative to the Wisconsin Council on Immunization Practices since 2015. Additionally, he served as Chair of the Wisconsin Annual Chapter Meeting Program and Scientific Session from 2009 to 2017, Chair-Elect and Member of the Board of Governors for the Council of Young Physicians from 2011 to 2012, Chair and Member of the Board of Regents for the Council of Young Physicians from 2012 to 2013, as well as the Chair of the Wisconsin Chapter Nominations Committee.
