presence of This assembly / To pass my life in purity/ And to practice my profession faithfully/ I will abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous/ I will do all in my power/ To elevate the standards of my profession/ And I will not or knowingly administer/ Any harmful drug/ I will hold in confidence/ All personal matters committed to my keeping/ and all family affairs coming to my knowledge in practice of my profession/ With loyalty will I endeavor to aid the physician in his work/ And devote myself to the welfare of those committed to my care/ So help me God.
