What to wear to med school orientation

The best outfits to wear to medical school depend on the classroom or clinical rotation setting.

For a classroom setting, a smart casual outfit such as khakis and a polo shirt will work, though some schools also allow casual attire like jeans and a t-shirt. For clinical rotations, you will need scrubs in an appropriate color and a white coat.

Keep in mind that most medical schools and teaching hospitals provide a dress code for students that lists what to wear in the classroom as well as at a hospital for a clinical rotation.

Med school uniform

In the classroom, relaxed or smart casual styles work for most situations. The school or the teaching hospital may provide appropriate scrubs and/or a white coat for clinical rotations. In many cases, students purchase their own scrubs from a provided uniform supplier.
