The Physician Assistant Oath

I do hereby pledge my loyalty to the Physician Assistant profession into which 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 consideration 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 solely, freely, and upon my honor.
