Originally introduced as a resident in general surgery at Seattle Grace Hospital, Bailey rises through the ranks to become an attending physician and is eventually appointed Chief of Surgery. Her relationship with the series' five original surgical interns—Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo), Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh), Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl), Alex Karev (Justin Chambers) and George O'Malley (T. R. Knight)—is a central focus in the early seasons, highlighting her role as a tough but caring mentor. Provided by Wikipedia
