What is the name of House’s cane-wielding department in House, M.D.?

House leads the Department of Diagnostic Medicine in House, M.D.

The department specializes in solving complicated cases that other hospital departments have not diagnosed. House and his team collect clues from symptoms, medical histories, examinations, laboratory tests, and imaging before proposing and testing possible explanations.

Diagnostic medicine is a real area of clinical practice, although the series dramatizes it through unusually rare illnesses and rapid breakthroughs. In real hospitals, complex diagnoses are commonly handled through collaboration among multiple specialties rather than by one small team making every decision.

The department is also the workplace of House’s fellows. The original team included Eric Foreman, Allison Cameron, and Robert Chase. Later seasons introduced additional doctors and changed the team’s structure while keeping diagnostic puzzles at the center of the show.
