Allison Cameron is the first female member of House’s original diagnostic team in House M.D.
Jennifer Morrison plays Dr. Allison Cameron, one of the three fellows recruited by House at the beginning of the series. The original team also includes Robert Chase and Eric Foreman. Cameron’s specialty is immunology, and her compassionate approach contrasts with House’s deliberately abrasive style.
Cameron is notable for her strong concern for patients and for the ethical implications of medical decisions. Her personal history, including the death of her first husband, is used to explain some of her empathy and emotional guardedness.
Cameron is sometimes confused with later female doctors such as Remy “Thirteen” Hadley or Amber Volakis. Those characters join the diagnostic department later. Cameron is the original team’s female member and one of the show’s earliest major doctors.
