In House M.D., which character is a neurologist on House's diagnostic team?

The story behind the answer

Eric Foreman is the neurologist on House's diagnostic team in House M.D.

Foreman is one of the three original fellows assigned to House in the pilot, alongside Robert Chase and Allison Cameron. His specialty is neurology, while Chase specializes in intensive care and Cameron in immunology during the team's early configuration.

Omar Epps plays Foreman. The character is ambitious, scientifically rigorous, and often more willing than his colleagues to challenge House directly. His professional relationship with House changes repeatedly as Foreman becomes a department leader and later takes on administrative responsibilities.

Foreman's neurology specialty can be confused with House's own dual specialties, nephrology and infectious disease. Foreman is not House's supervisor in the original team; he begins as a fellow and later develops an independent career at the hospital.
