Do DO's swear on the Hippocratic oath? Or is there another one that they pledge to?
Thanks
 
We swear the Osteopathic Oath. It can be found by searching for the title or by visiting www.kcom.edu and searching. It is similar, but much more succint and applicable to our times, with all references to Greek gods removed 🙂

P.S.--please note that there are two versions of the oath; one has a pledge to A.T. Still and the other doesn't.
