ADMINISTRATION OF OATH

The administration of the Hippocratic Oath or Physician’s Oath at graduation time has

become a tradition in the western medical world and recognizes our debt to our ancestors

for pointing the way to ethical and moral behavior in the midst of the multitude of scientific

activities of the medical profession. The Oath is thought to have originated in the fourth

century B.C. and has come down to us in several translations. Today’s version, the

so-called Geneva version of the World Medical Association, has been altered to bring its

words and ideas into consonance with today’s trends. It serves to remind us once again

of the high standards of performance and behavior to which each of you aspires and

with which each of you is challenged as you receive your degree and enter upon your

professional career as a physician.

PHYSICIAN’S OATH

AT THE time of being admitted as a Member of the Medical Profession

I SOLEMNLY pledge myself to consecrate my life to the service of humanity.

I WILL give to my teachers the respect and gratitude that is their due;

I WILL practice my profession with conscience and dignity;

THE HEALTH of my patient will be my first consideration;

I WILL respect the secrets that are confided in me;

I WILL maintain by all means in my power, the honor and noble traditions of the medical profession;

MY COLLEAGUES will be my sisters and brothers;

I WILL not permit consideration of religion, nationality, race, age, gender, sexual orientation, disabilities, party politics or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient;

I WILL maintain the utmost respect for human life; even under threat, I will not use my medical knowledge contrary to the laws of humanity.

I MAKE these promises solemnly, freely, and upon my honor.
