Bolo Ties and OMM

Every OMM professor that I met while interviewing was either wearing a bolo tie, a dream catcher, or some sort of native american paraphernalia. Is this a coincidence or a conspiracy? They were all really nice and I'm just curious.

I've never once seen an OMM professor wearing a bolo tie, dream catcher, or any other native american paraphernalia, so I guess not.

My OMM professors are usually wearing suits & ties (the men obviously) and other normal clothing - guess they ain't all hippies

Some of the OMM faculty at my school wear them. Then again, during an OMM lecture, one of our faculty had pictures of what appeared to be light coming out of his hands and used these images as evidence of healing energy 👎

TouroCOM's OMM docs have somewhat of the opposite going on. Our men are the incredibly sane and well put-together ones. always suit and tie. The women tend to be a little bit cooky. Though thats more in mindset and propensity to tell completely random stories that suggest early onset dementia, rather than their appearance.

Last week we were going over "energy screens" and ours spouted off a bunch of BS and supported it by simply saying "And that's science."

One of our docs has a chef coat that he occasionally wears during lab. However, it purportedly allows for freedom of motion.

Thanks for the responses. Its good to know that it is primarily a coincidence. The chef coat is an interesting one.🙄

I can the reasoning behind it. I have broad shoulders for my size (I'm only 5'6") so I either get a coat that fits my body well or a tarp that fits my shoulders well. I bought a white coat of each size but I wear the former more because it looks more professional.

It also makes it really hard to tie my shoes.

Protip: Don't wear a chef's coat during a surgery rotation.

That'd weird me out if I were a patient. The bolo tie might offset it though.

If you take the larger one to a store with a tailor (like a K&G or a dry cleaner) they can tailor it to you. It doubles the price of the jacket, but if it makes you feel more comfortable and look more professional it might be worth it.🙂🙂
