‘ Fellowship Pledge
 ECOGNIZING that the American College of
_     Surgeons seeks to exemplify, develop, and
2   enforce the highest traditions of our calling,
I hereby pledge myself, as a condition of Fellowship in
the College, to live in strict accordance with all its
principles, declarations, and regulations. * * In par·
r ticular, I pledge myself topursue the practice of surgery
with thorough self-restraint and to place the welfare of
my patients above all else; to advance constantly in
knowledge by the study of surgical literature, instruc·
tion by competent teachers, interchange of opinion '
among associates, and attendance on sessions of the
important societies and at clinics; to regard scrupulously
the interest of my professional brothers and seek their
counsel when in doubt as to my own judgment; to
render willing help tomy colleagues, and to give freely F
my services to the needy. * * Moreover, I pledge myself
to shun unwarranted publicity, dishonest money-seek-
ing, and commercialism, as disgraceful to our profession;
to refuse utterly all secret money trades with consultants in
and practitioners, makers of surgical appliances and A ·
optical instruments, or others; to teach the patient his  
financial duty  to the physician and to urge the prac- I
titioner to obtain his remuneration from the patient A
openly; to make my fees commensurate with the services
. rendered and with the patient’s rights; and to avoid
` discrediting my associates by taking unwarranted com- g
pensation and, specifically, to uphold and practice I
within the principles of financial relations as estab·
lished by the College, * * Finally, I pledge myself to
co-operate in advancing and extending, by every lawful
means within my power, the influence of the American
g College of Surgeons. ,
