I intend to prevent, treat, and cure disease.
I will humbly admit when I do not know something in order to avoid causing harm to others.
I will always respect others, as well as their privacy, and treat them the way I would like to be treated.
I will not play God or belittle other members of society.

I will maintain healthy coping mechanisms to deal with any stress that comes my way.
