In House M.D., Lisa Cuddy is the hospital administrator and Dean of Medicine for most of the series.
Dr. Lisa Cuddy is played by Lisa Edelstein and serves as the senior administrator responsible for Princeton-Plainsboro's operation. She supervises House, manages budgets and policies, and repeatedly tries to contain the professional risks created by his unconventional methods.
Cuddy is also a physician. The series identifies her as an endocrinologist, although her administrative role occupies much of her screen time. Her position places her between hospital leadership and House's diagnostic department, making her both an authority figure and a recurring ally.
Viewers sometimes confuse Cuddy with Cameron because both are important doctors at Princeton-Plainsboro. Cameron is a member of House's team, while Cuddy is the dean and administrator. Cuddy is also one of House's major romantic storylines.
