What is Lisa Cuddy’s job at Princeton-Plainsboro in House, M.D.?

Lisa Cuddy’s job at Princeton-Plainsboro in House, M.D. is Dean of Medicine.

Dr. Lisa Cuddy is the hospital’s administrator and serves as Dean of Medicine while supervising Gregory House and his Diagnostic Medicine department. Her responsibilities include managing hospital policy, budgets, staff disputes, and the risks created by House’s methods.

Cuddy is played by Lisa Edelstein. Her relationship with House mixes professional authority, personal history, and occasional romance, making her one of the series’ key characters rather than merely an administrative figure.

The title is sometimes simplified to “hospital administrator” because Cuddy performs that function. However, the specific position associated with her at Princeton-Plainsboro is Dean of Medicine. She is not the head of oncology or surgery.
