From student to doctor: An analysis of chiropractic oaths as an allegory of the transition from academic integrity to ethical professionalism

CONCLUSION: There is wide variation in the occurrence and emphasis of themes relating to ethics, integrity, and professionalism in the different chiropractic oaths. This study provides information for institutions to consider with regard to the content of the oath they administer. It is hoped that this article may encourage the creation of a universally accepted chiropractic oath that will help each graduate commit to a fulsome, all-encompassing pledge to become an ethical professional who optimally represents chiropractic.PMID:37458762 | DOI:10.7899/JCE-22-17
