Which character is the neurologist on House M.D.’s main medical team?

Eric Foreman is the neurologist on House M.D.’s main medical team. Omar Epps portrays Foreman, who begins the series as one of House’s fellows in Diagnostic Medicine.

Foreman’s neurological training is especially valuable because many difficult cases involve the brain, nerves, seizures, movement disorders, or unexplained changes in consciousness. He is also one of the team members most willing to challenge House directly, creating tension between professional respect and disagreement over methods.

Foreman remains an important figure beyond his years as a fellow. His career progresses through hospital leadership and administrative responsibilities, and his relationship with House changes as their roles evolve. Wilson is an oncologist, Chase is a surgeon, and Taub is a plastic surgeon, so each represents a different medical background.
