David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA The Sixty-sixth Graduating Class

Three o’clock in the Afternoon

Friday, May Twenty-ninth Two Thousand and Twenty The Oath of Hippocrates

I swear by all that I hold most sacred that I will keep this enduring Oath:

To the best of my ability and judgment I will practice the Art only for the benefit of my patients.

Whatever houses I may visit, I will enter only to help the sick or to prevent illness, never to inflict harm, injustice or suffering.

I will lead my life and practice the Art conscientiously and with honor.

Whatever I may see or hear in the practice of the Art or even outside of it that should not be spread abroad I will keep in solemn confidence.

I will be just and generous to those who taught me the Art, to my colleagues in the Art, and to those who desire to learn it.

May happiness and the physician’s good repute be granted me while I keep this sacred Oath inviolate.
