She joined Dartmouth–Hitchcock Medical Center as a radiology resident. 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. 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. Alongside developing resources and her popular YouTube channel, Lewis is involved in the development of the national curriculum for radiology. In 2006 she began to edit and write questions for the American Board of Radiology.
