4 Oath of Hippocrates One of the most widely known of Greek medical texts, the Hippocratic Oath requires new health care professionals to swear to uphold specific ethical standards. As a member of the dental profession, I shall keep this pledge and these stipulations. I understand and accept that my primary responsibility is to my patients, and I shall dedicate myself to render, to the best of my ability, the highest standard of oral health care and to maintain a relationship of respect and confidence. Therefore, let all come to me safe in the knowledge that their total health and well-being are my first considerations. I shall accept the responsibility that, as a professional, my competence rests on continuing the attainment of knowledge and skill in the arts and sciences of dentistry. I acknowledge my obligation to support and sustain the honor and integrity of the profession and to conduct myself in all endeavors such that I shall merit the respect of patients, colleagues and my community. I further commit myself to the betterment of my community for the benefit of all society. I shall faithfully observe the Principals of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct set forth by the profession. All this I pledge with pride in my commitment to the profession and the public it serves. 4

5 Master of Ceremonies and Guest Hooders The Class of 2017 elected a faculty member to be their Master of Ceremonies. They also elected two faculty members to hood each member of their class. Guest Escort Participation The Hooding Ceremony academic tradition states that in order to participate in the ceremony you must have an academic rank above or equal to the hood that is being bestowed. Therefore, all escorts must have a doctorate as our students are all receiving doctorate hoods. Our graduates are allowed to have one escort participate in the Hooding Ceremony with them. Faculty members are not eligible as guest escorts unless the student is a family member. 5
