Oath of Commitment

---

 

I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession
I am about to enter.

I will strive to apply my skills only with the utmost
respect for the well-being of humanity; being
ever vigilant in aiding the general welfare of
the community, sustaining its laws and institutions,
and not engaging in those practices which will
in any way bring shame or discredit upon myself
or my profession;

I will endeavor to work in accord with
my colleagues in a spirit of progressive
cooperation and never by word or by act
cast imputations upon them;

I will not permit considerations of nationality,
politics, prejudice or material advancement
to intervene between my work and this duty
to present and future generations;

I vow to practice my profession with
conscience and dignity;

In the presence of this gathering I bind myself
to this oath, making it solemnly, freely
and upon my honor.
