The standard of ethics for medical practitioners.

Briefly: the Hippocratic Oath is an ancient oath—traditionally attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates—setting ethical principles for doctors (e.g., non‑maleficence, confidentiality, and duty to care). Modern medical schools use updated versions rather than the original text.
