(Inspired by the Declaration of Geneva)
I pledge myself to a life of service for humanity as a physician;
The health and wellbeing of my patient will be my first consideration;
I will treat all of my patients and colleagues respect and dignity;
I will collaborate with my colleagues and offer them support;
I will offer my patients a human connection;
I will respect the secrets which are confided in me, even after the patient has died;
I will not permit considerations of religion, nationality, race, party politics, or social standing to intervene between my duty and my patient;
I will practice my profession to the best of my ability, with an awareness of my limitations;
I will strive to incorporate social justice in my practice;
I will approach issues of health using the lens of medicine and the lens of public health;
I make these promises with respect to the practice of medicine as a profession.
