This bill mandates the reinstatement of the Hippocratic Oath for physicians in Oklahoma, requiring both new applicants for medical licensure and currently licensed physicians to take the oath. In addition to the traditional Hippocratic Oath, physicians must also affirm a new oath that includes three specific tenets: adherence to the Nuremberg Code, a commitment to thoughtful consideration of patient needs over pharmaceutical treatments, and a pledge to avoid prescribing medications influenced by financial incentives from the pharmaceutical industry.

The State Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision, along with the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners, is tasked with promulgating rules to implement these requirements. The bill is set to take effect on November 1, 2026.
