Practitioner’s OathEast Asian Medical Practitioner’s Pledge to Duty

• I recognize and celebrate the special value of life.

• I promise to use my medical knowledge to benefit my patients’ health, for they are my first concern.

• I will protect and foster the trust of the therapeutic relationship.

• I will respect patients’ rights and dignity, including vulnerable groups who lack the means to fully express their needs, and those who refuse my treatment.

• I will be honest and compassionate toward all patients, engaging them empathically and wholly.

• I will practice without discrimination, and not perform pointless or intentionally harmful treatments.

• I will always exercise my best professional judgment.

• I will provide or help patients find information and support to make decisions about their health.

• I will accept the limits of my knowledge, acknowledge my mistakes and strive to correct them.

• I will seek advice from colleagues when necessary and share my wisdom by teaching others what I know.

• I will open myself to a lifetime of learning, for teachers come in any form at any time.

• I will not put personal profit or advancement above my duty to patients.

• I will honor and strive to add to the rich legacy of East Asian medicine.

• And

• I will care for and nurture myself as I would my patients.
