The Oath of HippocratesI swear by all that I hold most sacred that I will keep this enduring Oath:To the best of my ability and judgment I will practice the Art only for thebenefit of my patients.Whatever houses I may visit, I will enter only to help the sick or to preventillness, never to inflict harm, injustice or suffering.I will lead my life and practice the Art conscientiously and with honor.Whatever I may see or hear in the practice of the Art or even outside of it thatshould not be spread abroad I will keep in solemn confidence.I will be just and generous to those who taught me the Art, to my colleaguesin the Art, and to those who desire to learn it.May happiness and the physician’s good repute be granted me while I keepthis sacred Oath inviolate.Adapted from the original bySHERMAN M.

Academic AttireAwardsAcademic attire had its beginnings in the clerical garb of 12th century Europe. By the 14th century,academic dress had been standardized throughout medieval Europe and the styles have changedlittle over the last 600 years. Since the late 19th century, tradition in the United States has dictatedthe cap and gown are to be worn at commencement to signify that the student has attained thestatus of “scholar.” Hoods are bestowed to denote the earning of advanced degrees.TEACHING AWARDSCAPThe mortarboard was first adopted by the University of Paris in the early16th century and has become the most frequently seen academic cap. Thetassel was added in the 18th century and is worn to the left upon attaining abaccalaureate degree.GOWNThe doctoral gown for Medicine is distinct in that it has velvet trimming ingreen down the front of the gown and in three bars across the bell-shapedsleeves.HOODThe hood is added to academic regalia to denote an advanced degree. Thevelvet trimming on the hood shows in what field the wearer obtained his or herdegree. In the late 19th century green was chosen as the color for Medicine asit represents the herbs used by traditional healers. The satin lining on the insideof the hood are the colors of the school from which the degree was earned.UCLA’s colors are blue and gold.Excellence in Teaching with HumanismResidents and Fellows
