The health and well-being of my patient will be my first consideration;
I will respect the autonomy and dignity of my patient;
I will maintain the utmost respect for human life;
I will not permit considerations of age, disease or disability, creed, ethnic origin, gender, nationality, political affiliation, race, sexual orientation, social standing or any other factor to intervene between my duty and my patient;
I will respect the secrets that are confided in me, even after the patient has died;
I will practice my profession with conscience and dignity and in accordance with good medical practice;
I will foster the honor and noble traditions of the medical profession;
I will give to my teachers, colleagues, and students the respect and gratitude that is their due;
