With this oath, I
acknowledge and embrace the responsibilities and privileges of a physician in
training and a member of the medical community.
I commit to faithfully
serving the well-being of my patients and strive for the prevention, treatment,
and cure of disease. I endeavor to be worthy of their trust through honest and
sensitive communication. I will respect my patients’ individuality, safeguard
their confidence, and serve as their advocate. I will educate and empower them
as guardians of their own health.
I recognize that my
community grants privileges to the medical profession and I therefore hold
myself accountable to the public’s trust.
I will strive to improve the quality of health care for all.
Towards these ends, I
dedicate myself to a lifetime of learning, teaching, and advancing the art
and science of medicine. I will approach my medical education with integrity
and humility, respecting the patients and teachers from whom I shall learn. I
will foster a collaborative learning environment respectful of my colleagues in
the healthcare community.
I will act within my
capabilities and recognize my limitations. I acknowledge the need for balance
and will attend to my well-being and that of those close to me.
May I hold fast to the
enthusiasm and idealism with which I take this pledge.
This oath I make freely and
upon my honor.
