>Hippocratic Oath
The solemn truth about medical oaths
Medical students make a variety of promises at graduation and white coat ceremonies — and even write their own oaths. What they include, from social activism to self-care, would surprise Hippocrates.
Each year, thousands of graduating medical students across the country don caps and gowns and vow to uphold the highest ideals of their new profession. The uninitiated might assume they recite the Hippocratic Oath, a venerable document enumerating ideals for physicians that dates back more than two millennia. In reality, though, that’s hardly the case.
While nearly all U.S. medical school graduations include a public promise, and some use an updated version of Hippocrates’ words, not a single student utters the original Hippocratic Oath.
