GROK Yes, the Hippocratic Oath is optional and ceremonial in US medical schools—not legally required. No schools use the original version; most (over 50% as of 2017 data) adopt unique or revised oaths incorporating modern issues like social justice. Recent trends (2023-2025) show schools like UConn and Harvard using or allowing customized oaths with DEI elements, sparking debate. No confirmed data on "record numbers" opting out specifically for political reasons; evidence points to institutional shifts rather than individual choices.
