What is the name of House’s boss at Princeton-Plainsboro in House M.D.?

Lisa Cuddy is House’s boss at Princeton-Plainsboro in House M.D. She serves as the hospital’s dean of medicine and chief administrator for much of the series.

Cuddy is an endocrinologist by training and is played by Lisa Edelstein. Her responsibilities include managing the hospital, balancing budgets, supervising physicians, and dealing with House’s rule-breaking. This creates an ongoing conflict between her administrative duties and her recognition of his diagnostic value.

Cuddy often protects House from dismissal when his unusual methods produce results, but she also disciplines him when his conduct threatens patients, staff, or the hospital. Their professional tension develops into a romantic relationship for part of the series.

Allison Cameron, Martha Masters, and Amber Volakis are doctors associated with House’s teams rather than his hospital boss. Cuddy’s administrative title and medical specialty are separate facts, which is why identifying her simply as an endocrinologist misses her role in the hospital hierarchy.
