OSTEOPATHIC PLEDGE OF COMMITMENT
Code of Ethics The American Osteopathic Association has formulated this Code to guide its
member physicians in their professional lives. The standards presented are
designed to address the osteopathic physician's ethical and professional
responsibilities to patients, to society, to the AOA, to others involved in
healthcare and to self. Further, the American Osteopathic
Association has adopted the position that physicians should play a major role in the development and instruction of
medical ethics.
