From the Graduates
On behalf of the Class of 2021, we extend our deepest gratitude to all who have helped make this day possible. To the faculty and staff of Emory School of Medicine, thank you for your guidance and dedication. You have imparted the gift of education and have transformed us through your compassion, integrity, and service. To our family and friends who have supported us over the years, we are truly grateful. We would not be here today if not for your love and encouragement. Finally, to our classmates…we began medical school as strangers but have since become family. Thank you for standing by our side as we faced our greatest challenges and celebrated our sweetest victories. While our goodbyes look different than we had hoped, we continue to cherish the bonds we have made throughout our time at Emory. Thank you all for sharing this journey with the Class of 2021. SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Lauren Pinion, President Dylan Martini, Vice President Aidan Sweeney, Secretary Carson Ward, Treasurer

The Oath of Hippocrates A
s the ancient Greeks swore by their pagan gods, so do I solemnly affirm that as a graduate in medicine at Emory University, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this oath and stipulation.
I
will consider dear to me those who have taught me this art and will impart the precepts and instruction of the profession to all those who qualify as students of the art and agree to the standards of the profession.
I
will follow that system of regimen which according to my ability and judgment I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
I
nto whatever house I enter I will go into it for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption.
W
hatever in connection with my professional practice or not in connection with it, I see or hear in the lives of men and women which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
W
hile I continue to keep this oath inviolate, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all people in all times, but should I trespass and violate this oath may the reverse be my lot. 16
