In House M.D., Eric Foreman is the neurologist who later becomes Dean of Medicine.
Foreman is one of House’s original diagnostic fellows and is portrayed as ambitious, disciplined, and determined to establish an identity separate from his mentor. His specialty is neurology, which becomes especially relevant in cases involving seizures, movement disorders, cognition, and other nervous-system symptoms.
Foreman’s career develops beyond the diagnostic department. He eventually becomes the hospital’s Dean of Medicine, taking on the leadership role after Wilson’s brief tenure. Omar Epps played Foreman throughout the series. The character is sometimes confused with Chase or Taub because all three are members of House’s diagnostic teams, but Foreman is the neurologist and the later dean.
