Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills (DOCS): The Developing Outstanding Clinical Skills Integrated Curriculum provides an understanding of the role of the physician in the clinical setting and in the community through longitudinal small group and clinical learning experiences throughout the four years of medical school.

DELL MEDICAL SCHOOL HIPPOCRATIC OATH I swear to fulfill, to the best of my ability and judgment, this pledge: I will respect the autonomy, dignity and privacy of my patients.

I will practice my profession with conscience and in accordance with best medical practice.

I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy and understanding may outweigh the benefits of surgery and medications.

I will not permit bias, prejudice or other societal constraints to impact my responsibility to my patient, and I will be vigilant in addressing health inequities.

I will avoid the traps of overtreatment and advocate for those without access. I will always put patients and their families ahead of personal economic gain.

I will prevent disease and promote health. I will advance health in my community beyond the walls of the clinic and hospital.

I will collaborate with all members of the health care team to provide comprehensive care to my patients and the community.

I will recognize the limits of my knowledge and skill and seek the help of others when needed.

I will work to improve the quality and safety of the health system through innovation, collaborative leadership and teamwork.

I will attend to my own health, well-being and abilities in order to provide care of the highest standard.

If I do not violate this oath, I will live honored knowing that I have returned to society the great investment and trust it has placed in me.

Written in 1964 by Louis Lasagna (edited by the inaugural class of Dell Medical School)
