as individuals or maybe not knowing what's considered "professional."
Either way, today's medical practice administrators and human resources
managers must know where to draw the line so the group practice projects
a competent, professional image.
As students/physicians will encounter patients from diverse
groups, their personal appearance becomes an important part in
establishing rapport with each patient. Therefore, the therapeutic alliance
must be secured before initial verbal interaction has occurred.
Student/physicians should place the patient’s needs first even if this
necessitates curtailing some aspects of one’s individual expression.
Because of the responsibility to inspire confidence in our professionalism
and high quality of care, physicians are expected to wear appropriate dress
as defined herein; in a manner which reflects positively on the department,
hospital and their profession. Each student/physician is expected to reflect
the organization’s high standards through professional dress, grooming,
conduct, language, and decorum.
Standards for dress, grooming, and personal cleanliness contribute
to the morale of all staff members and affect the image of the Medicine as
a Practice. During business hours, student/physicians are expected to
present an appearance and dress according to the requirements of their
positions. Clothing worn to work should reflect professional status,
provide for mechanical safety of student/physicians and patients, allow for
full performance of all duties and provide easy identification of
student/physicians.
Dress codes for a job at a hospital, medical office or any other
medical institution require conservative styles. The dress code is not
simply a matter of professionalism, but also a matter of safety.
Students/physicians come into contact with patients and medical
equipment. They must be prepared for a number of situations, such as
excessive bleeding, vomiting, chemical spills and other accidents.
Appropriate dress for all medical personnel is as follows:
Dress of medical students in routine class in the first two years could
be informal.
All medical students are required to wear a clean, short white coat.
Hair (including facial hair) should be clean, neatly trimmed, and
contained so that it does not come in contact with patients. Men’s beards
are acceptable when neatly trimmed. Hair colored green, blue, pink, etc., is
not acceptable
