2019 Hippocratic Oath Ceremony

UCLA medical students received their diplomas Friday, May 31, in Dickson Court at the 65th annual Hippocratic oath ceremony for the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA.

The keynote speaker, Dr. Lisa Sanders, is an internist on the faculty of the Yale school of medicine and author of four New York Times bestsellers, including “Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis”. She writes a bi-weekly column titled 'Diagnosis' for the New York Times Magazine. This column, which Dr. Sanders created in 2002 served as the inspiration for the television show 'House MD', on which she served as a technical adviser.

I encourage you to acknowledge and love the doctor you aspire to be. Cherish it, become it. Do it for the sake of your patients. Do it for your own sake, and the sake of those who love you. And finally, do it for the future of medicine. We are depending on you, you can do it, I can hardly wait. - Lisa Sanders, MD, FACP
