With the hope that young physicians penetrate the Hippocratic Oath, the board of administrators reminded: “As a student of Medicine – a doctor in the future – you have to be seriously aware of the honour and the responsibility since the first days at school. The purpose of studying medicine is to enrich knowledge and kindness for the health of the people, not to get rich in money or fame.”
