In House M.D., what is the name of House’s diagnostic fellow Eric Foreman?

House M.D.’s diagnostic fellow is named Dr. Eric Foreman.

Eric Foreman is a neurologist who joins House’s diagnostic team during the series. Omar Epps played the character from the first season through the finale. Foreman is intelligent, ambitious and more cautious than House, creating a recurring tension between professional respect and disagreement.

Foreman’s background includes work in neurology and a history of juvenile delinquency, which the series uses to explain both his determination and his sensitivity to being judged. He frequently challenges House’s reasoning while still learning from House’s diagnostic instincts.

Foreman later moves into hospital leadership and becomes Dean of Medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro. His development from fellow to administrator makes him one of the clearest examples of a team member whose career continues beyond House’s immediate department.
