Can I grow super long Jesus hair while in medical school?

Hypothetically, would this be poor decision? Would I get judged?

I grew a beard about that long, so if that's any indication... You'll be fine. But come MS3, you best tone it down.

Essentially, I have 2 years to become a wolf man?

Yes, yes you do.

I have a number of students right now in my OMSI sclass who look like that, but far more with black or dark brown hair.

Don't grow out your hair. Think about it... If you become THAT sexy, how is everyone going to focus on learning?
Impossible I say!

 

[aalamruad]

Can you? Yep.

Will some people judge you for it? Yep.

Should you do it anyways? Yep.

 

[fball22]

Most definitely my plan. I've had it before and I miss it. Getting past the awkward medium stage is the hardest part.

go for it but promise that if you try it and your hair looks awful like this dude, you will go back to haircuts.

 

[Psai]

If you show up to my wards looking like that I will greet you with a razor. Unless your arms are actually that big

What about a pony tail?

Yea, just like Clay would be fine (in my book)...I'm out in Cali, residents wear nose rings...I've also seen nurses with purple mohawks (culture of acceptance/diversity)

 

[787593]

only to the strains of the blue danube

classic!

My hair gets about two inches and looks like a Q-tip, so I will maintain the short tight haircuts. My beard on the other hand...

What show is this from? I having such a hard time placing it and it's driving me crazy haha

Isn't it one of those Netflix series?

I'm not sure. I was thinking it was something older but I'm drawing a blank

It's from Colony I think

 

[redsox93]

Oh you're right! I was thinking of lost which the same guy was in. Thank you it was driving me crazy for some reason haha

I thought it might be Prison Break at first since she was the prison doc in that show haha

 

[wysdoc]

Yep, Colony. It fascinates and repels me that his hair retains the exact same degree of awful stringy unkemptness.

I have classmates that would give Castaway Tom Hanks a run for his money..

There have been a couple guys with long hair in my med school (one with ~shoulder length, a couple long enough to do a little bun). It was fine M1/M2, but they cut it in time for rotations.

Dumb question, but why do you have to cut it for rotations?

 

[libertyyne]

Dumb question, but why do you have to cut it for rotations?

Because your preceptors will grade you. In theory it should be on objective factors, but the grades will be based mostly on their perception of you. Introducing behavior or appearance outside of what is "expected" could potentially bias the preceptor in a negative way.

Can confirm one of the joys of having long hair as a male is tucking it behind your ears. I miss my long hair.

There was a dude with full jesus hair and a huge beard with a butterfly of a personality at one of my interviews and he got into a couple schools back in November, so I don't think its an issue lol

 

[mistafab]

Your time for looking like a weirdo is m1-m2. Your time to look like a weirdo is not the interview cycle or M3-M4.

Anyway, I was playing with the idea of growing a patchy beard and having long hair. Why not? I literally am just doing whatever I want at this point and having a good time. I'll just have to get my GF to learn to love it... A tough sell, no doubt.

Although I was pretty homely when she met me, so it must not be the looks keeping us together!

I'm not cutting my hair till I start year 3, but come clerkships, I'm cutting it and shaving. I can look homeless for step 1 prep. You will be judged and evaluated on your appearance, not only by attendings, but by patients.
