Now being admitted to the profession of medicine,
I solemnly pledge to consecrate my life to the service of humanity.
I will give respect and gratitude to my deserving teachers.
I will practice medicine with conscience and dignity.
The health and life of my patients will be my first consideration.
I will hold in confidence all that my patient confides in me.
I will maintain the honor and the noble traditions of the medical profession.
My colleagues will be as my family.
I will allow no considerations to intervene between my duty and my patient.
I will maintain the utmost respect for human life.
I will, under all circumstances, use my knowledge in the service of humanity.
These promises I make freely and upon my honor.

Candidates for and holders of master’s and doctor’s degrees
wear hoods over their robes. The hood symbolizes a heavy
burden. The hood identifies the level of the degree, the
field of learning, and the institution which awards it.
The color of the trim declares the major field of learning;
forest green represents medicine. The colors that line the
hood identify the university awarding the degree.
