Attestation of Commitment to Collaborative Care and Partnership Over Competition
I attest my unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care through collaboration, emphasizing teamwork and mutual respect over competition.
In my practice, I and my team prioritize building positive, effective relationships with fellow healthcare providers and practitioners to ensure that every patient receives comprehensive, holistic, and evidence-based care. I recognize that the collective expertise and diverse perspectives of a collaborative team are far more powerful in achieving the best outcomes for patients than any individual effort.
In doing so, I uphold the following principles:
- Collaboration as the Foundation of Care: I actively seek to work alongside other healthcare professionals, including, but not limited to, obstetricians, midwives, pediatricians, mental health specialists, specialty providers, and any other providers necessary, to create a unified care plan tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
- Mutual Respect and Trust: I respect the expertise and contributions of all team members, acknowledging that each practitioner brings valuable skills and insights to the table. I foster an environment of open communication and trust, ensuring that all members of the care team work together seamlessly.
- Patient-Centered Approach: I believe that the patient is at the center of the care process, and that collaboration between healthcare providers benefits the patient by offering a comprehensive, well-rounded approach to their health and wellness.
- Promoting Shared Success: I measure success not by individual accolades but by the overall well-being and positive outcomes of the patients we serve together. I celebrate the achievements of the care team as a whole, prioritizing the success of the patient over personal or professional competition.
- Open and Ongoing Communication: I ensure clear, timely, and respectful communication with all members of the care team, facilitating ongoing discussions and updates to ensure consistent and cohesive care for each patient.
- Continual Learning Through Teamwork: I value the opportunity to learn from my colleagues, recognizing that collaboration fosters a learning environment where we can all grow in our respective fields, leading to improved care and patient satisfaction.
I attest I will uphold these principles in all my professional interactions, consistently placing collaboration above competition, to promote the highest standard of care for all those I serve.

Attestation of Commitment to Evidence-Based Practice and Professional Scope
I attest my commitment to providing care that is rooted in evidence-based practice and delivered within the bounds of my professional scope, as defined by my training, licensure, and governing regulatory bodies.
In doing so, I uphold the following core principles:
- Evidence-Based Practice
I commit to integrating the best available research, clinical expertise, and patient preferences into my decision-making process.

My goal is to ensure that the care I provide is both safe and effective, grounded in proven methodologies that support optimal outcomes for those I serve. - Practicing Within Scope
I acknowledge and respect the boundaries of my professional scope of practice, ensuring that I provide care only within the limits of my formal education, licensure, certification, and training. I recognize that safe, ethical care requires humility and discernment, knowing when to consult with or refer to other qualified professionals when a patient’s needs exceed my legal or clinical expertise. - Interprofessional Collaboration
I actively engage in collaboration with other healthcare providers when appropriate, to ensure continuity of care and to honor the multidisciplinary nature of health and wellness. I do not attempt to assume roles outside of my scope, but instead contribute my knowledge and skills as part of a larger, coordinated care team. - Ethical Responsibility and Accountability
I am accountable to my clients, my profession, and the public. I take responsibility for staying current in my field and for aligning my practice with recognized standards and ethical codes. When in doubt, I seek guidance, supervision, or continuing education to ensure that my care remains competent and legally sound. - Patient-Centered Integrity
Above all, I commit to serving patients and families with honesty, transparency, and respect. I clearly communicate the limits of my role, and I prioritize patient safety and informed decision-making in every encounter.
