280 New Physicians To Take Hippocratic Oath On Mother's Day
INDIANAPOLIS -- Two hundred-eighty of Indiana’s newest physicians will take the Hippocratic oath in a ceremony at the Indiana Convention Center on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 10.
That ceremony for the most recent Indiana University School of Medicine graduates will take place following the ceremonies for all 1998 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis graduates. The processional at the RCA Dome for students receiving degrees from IUPUI will begin at 2:30 p.m. with formal ceremonies beginning at 3 p.m. The event should conclude by 4:30 p.m. at which time IU School of Medicine graduates and their family and friends will adjourn to Hall A at the Convention Center for the awarding of their diplomas. At that time, the new physicians will take the time-honored pledge to their new profession, known as the Hippocratic oath.
The majority of the graduating class are Hoosiers, but 13 are from other states and two from foreign countries.
