What medical specialty does Eric Foreman practice in House, M.D.?

Eric Foreman practices neurology in House, M.D.

Foreman is one of the original doctors recruited to House’s diagnostic team at Princeton-Plainsboro. His neurological training is particularly useful in cases involving the brain, nerves, seizures, movement disorders, and unexplained changes in behavior or consciousness.

Omar Epps portrayed Foreman throughout the series. The character is generally more disciplined and conventionally professional than House, although he also demonstrates strong diagnostic ability and a willingness to challenge House’s decisions. His career eventually develops beyond the initial fellowship team.

Foreman’s specialty is sometimes confused with those of his colleagues. Allison Cameron is an immunologist, while Robert Chase begins with surgical training. Neurology also differs from neurosurgery: a neurologist diagnoses and treats nervous-system disorders medically, whereas a neurosurgeon performs operations involving the nervous system.
