Kentucky College of Osteopathic Medicine CLASS OF 2021 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 treatment 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 in 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. 2021 Candidates for the Degree DOCTOR OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE * • ~ Andrew Eric Abadier Brady McIntosh Brooks East Greenwich, Rhode Island Land O’ Lakes, Florida • James William Adams, III Jonas Indiana Butler Maysville, Kentucky Greendale, Indiana David Joseph Aeh * Joshuah Adam Caccamo South Shore, Kentucky Fort Wayne, Indiana * • Maher Alia * Shannon Kelli Caliri Louisville, Kentucky South Elgin, Illinois Aamir S.
