American Medical College of Homeopathy Oath

Great Spirit, you have blessed your earth, rivers and mountains with healing substances; they enable your inhabitants to alleviate their sufferings and to heal their illnesses. You have endowed mankind with the wisdom to relieve the suffering of our fellow being, to recognize his disorders, to extract the healing substances, to discover their powers and to prepare and to apply them to suit every ill.

In your eternal wisdom, you have chosen me to watch over the life and health of your inhabitants. Inspire me with love for my art and for all beings. Do not allow thirst for profit, ambition or reputation to interfere with the practice of my art.

Preserve the strength of my body and soul that I may ever be ready to cheerfully treat rich and poor, good and bad, enemy as well as friend. In the sufferer, let me see only the human being.

Illumine my mind that I recognize what presents itself and comprehend what is absent or hidden. Let me not fail to see in my work the invisible power and grace of your hand.

Let my mind always be clear and pure in attending the suffering of others, for sacred are the thoughtful deliberations required to preserve the lives and health of your creatures.

Grant that my patients have confidence in me and my art and follow my directions and my counsel. Should those who are wiser than I wish to improve and instruct me, let my soul gratefully follow their guidance, for vast is the extent of our art.

Imbue my soul with gentleness and calmness should others censure me. Then let love for my profession steel me against them, so that I remain steadfast without regard for age, reputation or honor.

- Moses Maimonides
