About
Keith Dudemeister is a medical resident at Sacred Heart. Originally, Keith was introduced as a timid intern who eventually became very popular and adapted quickly to his hospital responsibilities. (My Intern's Eyes) J.D. grows to dislike Keith, particularly when Keith begins to date Elliot. However, J.D. soon decides that he would get along with Keith for Elliot's sake and admits that Keith has genuine skills as a doctor. Keith reveals himself to be a Republican (His Story IV), which strengthens the relationship between him and Elliot, as she is also one.
Relationships
Keith was engaged to Elliot until she called off the wedding. He became her boyfriend in his first year at Sacred Heart, although he started out as her booty call. (My Buddy's Booty) He has a rather tense relationship with J.D. in the beginning, but which is later resolved. Keith has felt the brunt of Elliot's neurotic side more than any of her other lovers; Sean was equally crazy, while Paul and Jake have taken it in stride. She often drags him around, and doesn't allow him to have "cool morgue friends" or be best friends with J.D. He proposes to Elliot, who initially accepts, but upon finding out that the ring doesn't fit has to take back her "yes". (My Turf War) Keith allows her to organize her own proposal and when he proposes again at the end of the episode, she accepts. (My Cold Shower) After Elliot breaks off the engagement he becomes very hostile towards her calling her a "Skanky straw-haired pig whore". (My Own Worst Enemy) Elliot apologizes a year later, only after she realizes that he is still hurt by her actions. (My Jerks)
J.D. and Keith didn't get off very well on the same foot, but eventually they became friends because of Elliot. However, J.D notes in a later episode that if Elliot had never come to Sacred Heart, the absence of sexual tension between the two would have enabled Keith and J.D to become best friends. Keith also lets J.D. take naked pictures of him and send them to Kim, pretending that they are of his (J.D.'s) body. Keith has a few similarities to J.D. such as expressing displays of femininity (Their Story) (My Road to Nowhere), as well as being overly sensitive, nerdy, and physically weak (despite his muscular physique). J.D. also like to have Keith and Elliot come with him to bars so that J.D. can use him as "girl bait."
Keith has a sister named Denise who Elliot once said was very attractive. He also has an uncle named Ronald and an aunt named Alicia. His uncle Ronald doinked Elliot's mother.

Trivia
- Although it is said that in German, Dudemeister means "master of dudes", the term "dude" doesn't exist in the German language.
- In My Intern's Eyes, when Keith was introduced, although his face wasn't shown, he apparently had bangs.
- Keith's perspective in My Intern's Eyes makes him appear shorter than the majority of the other characters.
- In My Cabbage, Keith was the only intern to not be given a nickname by J.D., although Dr. Cox later refers to him by the very obvious "The Dudemeister."
- In the last episode of Season Seven, My Princess, Elliot turns Keith down in Dr. Cox's story, showing they are no longer together; the part were he gives her the key to her chastity belt also helps prove this point.
- Keith nearly had a threesome with Dan Dorian and Elliot.
- Elliot has trained Keith to pee sitting down so that she doesn't get seat splatter.
- Elliot sometimes makes Keith wear a diaper
