The Christian Medical & Dental Associations (CMDA)
exist to motivate, educate, and equip Christian physicians and dentists to glorify God by:
​

• living out the character of Christ in their homes, practices, communities and around the world;
• pursuing professional competence and Christ-like compassion in their daily work;
• influencing their families, colleagues, and patients toward a right relationship with Jesus Christ;
• advancing Biblical principles in bioethics and health to the Church and society.

the
​Christian
Practitioner's
Oath

With gratitude to God, faith in the redemptive work of Christ Jesus, and dependence on the Holy Spirit, I publicly profess my intent to practice medicine and dentistry for the glory of God.
 
With humility, I will respect those who teach me and who broaden my knowledge. In turn, I will freely impart my knowledge and wisdom to others.
 
With God’s help, I will love those who come to me for healing and comfort.  I will honor and care for each patient as a person made in the image of God, putting aside selfish interests.
 
With God’s guidance, I will endeavor to be a good steward of my skills and of society’s resources. I will convey God’s love in my relationships and family, friends, and community. I will aspire to reflect God’s mercy in caring for the lonely, the poor, the suffering and the dying. I will look for opportunities to share with a dying world the good news that Jesus died to save them and by the Spirit’s power, share it with boldness, love and conviction.
 
With God’s blessing, I will respect the sanctity of human life.   I will care for all my patients, rejecting those interventions which either intentionally destroy or actively end the lives of the unborn, the infirm, and the terminally ill. 
 
With God’s grace, I will live according to this profession. ​
