The Osteopathic Oath
I do hereby affirm my loyalty to the profession I am about to enter.
I will be mindful always of my great responsibility
to preserve the health and the life of my patients,
to retain their confidence and respect both as a physician and a friend
who will guard their secrets with scrupulous honor and fidelity,
to perform faithfully my professional duties,
to employ only those recognized methods of treatment
consistent with good judgment and with my skill and ability,
keeping in mind always nature’s laws
and the body’s inherent capacity for recovery.
I will be ever vigilant in aiding in the general welfare of the community,
sustaining its laws and institutions,
not engaging in those practices that will in any way
bring shame or discredit upon myself or my profession.
I will give no drugs for deadly purposes to any person,
though it be asked of me.
I will endeavor to work in accord with my colleagues
in a spirit of progressive cooperation,
and never by word or by act cast imputations upon them
or their rightful practices.
I will look with respect and esteem
upon all those who have taught me my art.
To my college, I will be loyal and strive always for its best interests
and for the interests of the students who come after me.
I will be ever alert to further the application of basic biologic truths
to the healing arts and to develop the principles of osteopathic
medicine that were first enunciated by Andrew Taylor Still.
In the presence of this gathering, I bind myself to my oath.

Academic Regalia and Processional
Gown
The gown is the cornerstone of the academic costume that has its origins in 12th and 13th century Europe,
a period when universities were being formed. Today, Midwestern University follows guidelines established
by the American Council on Education. All graduates wear black gowns, with the front panels of the doctoral
gown trimmed in black velvet. Each sleeve of the doctoral gown is adorned with three bars of black velvet with
bell-shaped wrist ends. The master’s gown is unadorned, with the wrist ends of the sleeve open oblongs that
extend beyond the hand.

Presidential Medallion
The official symbol of authority of the office of the President of Midwestern University is the presidential
medallion. Worn around the neck of the President at all University commencements, the medallion, imprinted
with the University seal, is attached to a chain of office featuring tiles with the names of all nine leaders of
MWU and its Founding College. The 24-karat gold-plated medallion and its chain were originally crafted in
1988 for the inauguration of the first President of the newly established Midwestern University.
A new medallion was crafted in 1995 for the inauguration of Kathleen H. Goeppinger, Ph.D., the ninth
University President, featuring the seal of Midwestern University on the obverse.
In 2003, a new University seal was created, which still retains elements of the 1995 redesign, namely, the Bell
Tower, representing the focal point of the Downers Grove Campus; the Staff of Asclepius, the symbol of the medical
profession; Trees, symbols of learning with branches representing the many educational opportunities available at
MWU; and the Date of 1900, the year the first college of the University was founded. Engraved on the nine golden
tiles that comprise the 36-inch chain are the names of the current President and her eight notable predecessors.
Midwestern University Coins
A custom minted coin is a military tradition to recognize achievement, create incentive, improve safety, or show
appreciation for duty, dedication, or a job well done. Midwestern University proudly presents graduates who are
in the military or entering the military following graduation with a coin to honor their service to our country.
15History of Midwestern University
Midwestern University has a proud and impressive history. Founded in 1900 as the American
College of Osteopathic Medicine and Surgery by J. Martin Littlejohn, Ph.D., D.O., M.D.
(1865–1947), the organization was incorporated in Chicago, Illinois, to train physicians in a
not-for-profit environment.
Dr. Littlejohn hired talented faculty that enabled the College to establish a reputation as a leader
in medical education, research, and clinical practice. The early faculty mentored their students
in the art and science of osteopathic medicine while teaching surgery, the principles and practices
of osteopathic medicine, anatomy, and basic science.
The growth of the osteopathic college is intertwined with that of the osteopathic medical
profession itself. Ever since 1874 when a country doctor, Andrew Taylor Still, announced his
new theory of treating patients and began the first college in 1892, the profession has grown
in reputation and acceptance around the country and international settings.
The Downers Grove Campus was purchased in 1986, and the Chicago College of Osteopathic
Medicine moved from its prior home in Hyde Park, Illinois, to this western suburb of Illinois.
Following the relocation of the College, the Board of Trustees voted to begin the development
of new academic programs within the health sciences including the College of Pharmacy
(1991) and the College of Health Sciences (1992). In 1993, the Board of Trustees unanimously
approved a single educational mission for the institution, and Midwestern University emerged.
The Downers Grove Campus has since expanded to include the College of Dental Medicine–
Illinois (2009), the Chicago College of Optometry (2014), and the College of Graduate Studies
(2018). The Downers Grove Campus, located on 105 acres, has buildings that include academic
classrooms, laboratories, a state-of-the-art library and auditorium building, and student housing.
The Midwestern University Multispecialty Clinic was established in 2013 and includes the
Dental Institute, a Family Medicine Practice, the Speech-Language Institute, the Physical
Therapy Institute, the Eye Institute, and other health services designed to meet a wide range
of healthcare needs.
The Glendale Campus was established in 1995 when the Board of Trustees approved the
purchase of land and the building of a new campus in Arizona. The Glendale Campus is
home to the Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine (1995), the College of Health Sciences
(1996), the College of Pharmacy (1998), the College of Dental Medicine–Arizona (2006), the
Arizona College of Optometry (2008), the College of Veterinary Medicine (2012), the College
of Graduate Studies (2018), and Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine (2020). The campus has
seen rapid growth in the number of buildings, academic programs, faculty, staff, and students.
The Glendale Campus, located on 156 acres, has buildings that provide for academic classrooms,
state-of-the-art laboratories, and student housing. Five Midwestern University Clinics provide
quality care for the community: the Multispecialty Clinic, which opened in 2007; the Dental
Institute and the Eye Institute, which opened in 2010; the Animal Health Institute—comprised
of the Companion Animal Clinic (opened 2014), Equine and Bovine Center (opened 2015), and
Diagnostic Pathology Center (opened 2016); and the Therapy Institute, which opened in 2020.
Midwestern University is still governed by the strong principles of the founding administration
and faculty. An independent, not-for-profit corporation organized primarily to provide graduate
and postgraduate education in the health sciences, the University is dedicated to the education
and development of its students, faculty, and staff in an environment that encourages learning
and personal development.
