The Hippocratic oath or ethical code is attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. This was adopted as a guide to conduct by medical professionals throughout the ages and still used in the graduation ceremonies of many medical schools today. Very little is known of the life of Hippocrates or indeed, if he was the only practitioner of the time using this name. The Hippocratic Collection (Corpus Hippocraticum), survived until modern times. In addition to containing information on medical matters, the collection contained a code of principles for the teachers of medicine and for their students. This code, or at least a fragment of it, has been handed down in various versions through generations of physicians as the Hippocratic oath.
The oath itself dictates the obligations of a physician to students of medicine and the duties of pupils to teacher. In the oath, the physician pledges to prescribe only beneficial treatments, according to his/her abilities and judgment, to refrain from causing harm or hurt, and to live an exemplary personal and professional way of life.
