The Emergency Medical Technician's Oath

 


Be it pledged as an Emergency Medical Technician, I will honor the Physical and Judicial Laws of God and Man. I will follow that regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of patients and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. Nor shall I suggest any such counsel. Into whatever homes I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of only the sick and injured, never revealing what I see or hear in the lives of men
unless required by law.

I shall also share my medical knowledge with those who may benefit from what I have learned. I will serve unselfishly and continuously in order to help make a better world for all man kind.

While I continue to keep this oath in violated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life, and the practice of the art, respected by all men. In all times should I trespass or violate this oath, may the reverse by my lot.

...So Help Me God.

Adopted by The National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians in 1978
