national university of natural medicine Commencement 2017
ACADEMIC REGALIA Academic regalia date to the early days of the oldest universities. A statute of 1312 required that all doctors, licentiates and bachelors of the University of Coimbra, Italy, wear gowns. The shape and size of the American hood marks the college degree of the wearer. It is possible to recognize the college or university from which the degree was obtained by identifying the colors on the center of the hood. Gowns for master’s degree holders have elongated sleeves, while doctoral gowns have velvet striping on the sleeves and down the front. Hoods from National University of Natural Medicine are green and white for all degree programs. Dual-degree recipients wear the hood of the doctoral degree and a gold cord in recognition of their master’s degree.

6 NUNM Commencement 2017The NUNM Drummers have long been a tradition at important university occasions.
The troupe consists of a changing core of dedicated students who give their time,
energy and hearts to honor these momentous events. They drum with sincere respect
for the timeless lineage of West African drummers and bring to our ceremonies a sense
of earth-rooted reverence for the humble origins of natural medicine. Our drummers
express their gratitude to Portland master drummer Catón Lyles for his expert
instruction in the basics of rhythm and technique, and for his blessings of their efforts.
NUNM, in turn, thanks our drummers for their commitment and service.

I promise to follow the way of the Great Physician.
I will strive to live in harmony with nature,
and teach my patients to do the same.
I will stay calm,
and completely committed when treating disease.
I will not give way to personal wishes and desires,
but above all else
hold and nurture a deep feeling of compassion.
I will be devoted to the task of saving the sacred spark of life
in every creature that still carries it.
I will strive to maintain a clear mind,
and am willing to hold myself to the highest standards.
It will be my duty to diagnose sufferings and treat disease.
I will not be boastful about my skills,
nor driven by greed for material things.
Above all,
I will keep an open heart.
As I move on the right path,
I will receive great happiness as a reward,
without asking for anything in return.
Adapted from The Great Physician by Sun Simiao (581-682).

14 NUNM Commencement 2017NATUROPATHIC PHYSICIAN’S OATH
I dedicate myself to the service of humanity as a practitioner
of the art and science of Naturopathic medicine.
I will honor my teachers and all who have preserved and developed
this knowledge and dedicate myself to supporting the growth
and evolution of Naturopathic medicine.
I will endeavor to continually improve my abilities as a healer
through study, reflection, and genuine concern for humanity.
I will impart knowledge of the advanced healing arts
to dedicated colleagues and students.
Through precept, lecture, and example, I will assist and encourage others
to strengthen their health, reduce risks for disease, and preserve the health of our
planet for ourselves, our families, and future generations.
According to my best ability and judgment, I will use methods of treatment
which follow the principles of Naturopathic medicine:
First of all, to do no harm.
To act in cooperation with the Healing Power of Nature.
To address the fundamental causes of disease.
To heal the whole person through individualized treatment.
To teach the principles of healthy living and preventive medicine.
I will conduct my life and the practice of Naturopathic health care with
vigilance, integrity, and freedom from prejudice.
I will abstain from voluntary acts of injustice and corruption.
I will keep confidential whatever I am privileged to witness, whether
professionally or privately, that should not be divulged.
With my whole heart, before this gathering of witnesses,
as a Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine,
I pledge to remain true to this oath.
Adopted by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) in 1992.
