The Hippocratic Oath is the basis for the code of ethics for the medical and dental
professions and is based on the solemn obligation to “do no harm” to the patient.
Hippocrates lived from 460 to 377 BC and created the Hippocratic Oath long before the
existence of the American Medical Association. The Hippocratic Oath did not address

Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted by Congress in 1996.
