College of Osteopathic Medicine
The Osteopathic Oath
I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession
I am about to enter.
I will be mindful always of my great responsibility to preserve the
health and the life of my patients, to retain their confidence and
respect both as a physician and a friend who will guard their secrets
with scrupulous honor and fidelity, to perform faithfully my professional
duties, to employ only those recognized methods of treatments consistent
with good judgment and with my skill and ability, keeping in mind
always nature's laws and the body's inherent capacity for recovery.
I will be ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of the community
sustaining its laws and institutions, not engaging in those practices
which will in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession.
I will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person, though it
may be asked of me.
I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues in a spirit of
progressive cooperation, and never by word or by act cast imputations
upon them or their rightful practices.
I will look with respect and esteem upon all those who have taught
me my art.
To my college I will be loyal and strive always for its best interests
and for the interests of the students who will come after me.
I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic
truths to the healing arts and to develop the principles of Osteopathy
which were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still.
In the presence of this gathering I bind myself to my oath.
