CLASS OATH As I begin my clinical service, I dedicate myself to promote the Autonomy of my patients, to serve with Beneficence to act in their best interest, and to assure they will benefit from my care and treatment. I will strive for justice in access to treatment, to preserve the dignity and confidentiality of those I serve, and to communicate with my patients and their loved ones with honesty and truth. As a SpeechLanguage Pathologist, I promise to work towards advancing science, setting standards, fostering excellence in professional practice, and advocating for those I serve. I vow to practice with integrity, humility, honesty, and compassion - working with other healthcare professionals to provide the best possible care for my patients.
