In 1998 she was appointed to the faculty at the Geisel School of Medicine, where she has since served as director of electives for radiology.[5][6] She has developed 11 online resources for education that are used across the United States, including the Case-based On-Line Radiology Education (CORE) and Radiology ExamWeb.[7][8][9] Alongside developing resources and her popular YouTube channel, Lewis is involved in the development of the national curriculum for radiology.[10][11] In 2006 she began to edit and write questions for the American Board of Radiology.[1]

Lewis co-edited the Oxford American Handbook of Radiology in 2013.[12] She has served as director of medical student education and vice-chair for education.[2] In 2017 she developed a web-based platform to recognise scholarly and service activity of faculty.[13] In 2017 she launched RadExam, a tool to allow evaluation and feedback of residents at the end of a radiology rotation.[14]

Lewis' clinical interests include nuclear medicine and women's imaging.[9] Her clinical practise is based as Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center.[15] She has explored the use of breast magnetic resonance imaging in the evaluation of patients who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.[16]
