In House M.D., what medical specialty does Dr. Foreman practice?

The story behind the answer

Dr. Eric Foreman’s medical specialty in House M.D. is neurology.

Omar Epps portrays Foreman, one of House’s original diagnostic fellows at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. His neurological training makes him especially valuable when cases involve the brain, nervous system, seizures, movement disorders, or unexplained neurological symptoms.

Foreman is ambitious, skeptical, and often more willing than his colleagues to challenge House directly. Over the course of the series, he takes on increasing administrative responsibility, including leadership roles within the hospital and the diagnostic department.

Foreman’s specialty is sometimes confused with the specialties of the other original team members. Allison Cameron is an immunologist, Robert Chase is an intensivist who later specializes in surgery, and James Wilson is an oncologist. Foreman’s defining clinical field, however, is neurology.
