In the full knowledge of the obligations I am undertaking,
I promise to dedicate myself
to the welfare of those committed to my care.
I will teach wellness, promote the well-being
of individuals and groups in society
and respect diversity in human responses.
I will maintain at all times the dignity of the patients in my care, holding in confidence all personal information entrusted to me.
I will support and work collaboratively
with members of the health team
and endeavor to keep my professional
knowledge and skills at the highest level. I am dedicating
myself as a care-giver, counselor, teacher and healer.
I promise to be accountable for my actions and to
practice my profession with pride.
