The Oath of Asaph, also known as the Oath of Asaph and Yohanan, is a code of conduct for Hebrew physicians. It may have been written in the 6th century CE, which would make its presumed author, Asaph Judaeus, the oldest known Hebrew medical writer. It resembles the Hippocratic Oath. It was taken by medical students at their graduation.
