The pledge included an acknowledgment of the land honoring the area’s indigenous people, as well as references to the disruption of white supremacy, colonialism, and gender norms.

The pledge also said students would commit to “healing our planet,” and that they would respect “all indigenous healing methods that have historically been marginalized by Western medicine.”

The text of the pledge is below:

The speaker is Robert Englander and his credentials are impeccable:

– MD, Yale Med School
-MPH, Johns Hopkins
Accommodation at the National Children’s Medical Center

With gratitude, we, University of Minnesota Twin Cities Class of 2026 College of Medicine students, stand here today among our friends, families, peers, mentors, and communities who have supported us in reaching this milestone.

Our establishment is located on Dakota land. Today many natives across Minnesota, including Dakota and Ojibwe, call the Twin Cities home.

We also realize that this acknowledgment is not enough. We are committed to uprooting the legacy and perpetuating the structural violence that is deeply ingrained in the health care system.

We recognize the inequalities created by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, gender bisexuality, and capacity for all forms of oppression.

As we enter this profession with an opportunity to grow, we commit to promoting an anti-racism culture and to listen and amplify voices for positive change.

We pledge to respect all indigenous methods of treatment that have historically been marginalized by Western medicine.

Knowing that health is inextricably linked with our environment, we are committed to healing our planet and our communities.

We pledge to embrace our role as members of society and strive to embody cultural humility.

We promise to continue to restore trust in the medical system and to fulfill our responsibility as educators and advocates.

We are committed to collaborating with social, political, and supplemental systems to advance health equity. We will learn from the scientific innovations that have been made before us and pledge to present this knowledge and share it with peers and neighbours.

We understand the importance of being in the community with and championing those we serve.

We promise to see humanity in each patient we serve, empathize with their lived experiences, and respect their unique identities.

We will embrace deep and meaningful bonds with patients, and strive to treat each encounter with humility and compassion.

We will be honest and present in our interactions with patients and hold ourselves accountable for our mistakes and biases.

We promise to communicate with our patients in an accessible manner to enable their independence.

We assure that patients are experts in their own bodies, and we will partner with them to facilitate holistic well-being.

We will be lifelong learners, increasing our competence in the art and science of medicine.

We are aware of our limitations and will endeavor to help fill these gaps through collaboration between professionals.

We will prioritize mind, body, and spirit not only for our patients, but for our colleagues and ourselves, new students continued.

With this dedication, we will stand up for our personal wellness and bring the best versions of ourselves to our profession.

“We will support each other as we grow as doctors and people,” they said, before concluding, “We are honored to accept these white coats.

In light of their legacy as a symbol of power, prestige and dominance, we strive to reclaim their identity as a symbol of responsibility, humility and loving kindness.

Many have pointed out that this sounds like a religious experience.

Looks like a church service.

U of medical students in Minnesota vow to “recognize the land,” swear an oath of health justice and “anti-racism.”

This is racist. It is anti-science. It is Marxism. It is evil. It is an integral part of medicine. Ask about everything the doctors tell you. everything. https://t.co/oWjTE7SnmR
