Is there one? And what should I wear to orientation??

AZCOM is the sister med school and we have no dress code for school attendance (there is one for going to preceptor). Wear whatever is comfortable to orientation. Sometime during that process you will have your picture taken for your student ID, so it might be a good idea to wash and comb your hair beforehand. You'd better like that picture because you're stuck with it for 4 years! Also it will be the best that you will look during the first year so it's a good reminder of what you looked like during the good old days when you used to be able to get as much sleep as you want!

I wouldn't mind a dress code. I looked nice the first day and was dissapointed that most people wore shorts and sandels. We are professionals now and should look that way.

I for one would not like a dress code. First off the only dressy thing I own are a suit and some slacks and having to wear those every day to sit in class would be a pain. Secondly I'm not all about buying new dress clothes to wear to class. I've got enough problems figuring out where the money's going to come from so I can live without adding a fashion budget into it.

I go to a school with a dress code and it really isn't that bad. First, there is no dress code for women...they wear whatever they can get away with. For guys, wear a tie, button shirt and dockers..you're set. There are several individuals that choose to bend the rules and wear slightly non-conventional or in some cases, non-CONTEMPORARY, outfits and it's just funny. No one gets yelled at. You don't have to wear a suit. And our dress code isn't in effect 24/7. It's only required from 8-4ish M-F. And even then, the dress code Nazis are only at the door around 8am.

If you only have a few pieces of dress clothing, you need more. You may not have a formal code for class but I don't know of any school that let's you wear jeans and a T-shirt when representing the school in someone's clinical office. By rotations, you definitely need a nice dress wardrobe.

my dress code for class/lab: flip flops, shorts and a tee (maybe scrubs on the days i wake up early)

i'm 26, have three kids (triplets)...i'm going to wear what i want to school. Of course, meeting with the dean (even at orientation i wore pants/shoes) i will make myself look a bit better...or when working in an office (that should be a given) but i think it is folly to make us post-grad students revert back to our middle school dress code while sitting in a classroom full of peers listening about noncompetitive inhibitors or trying to find the pericardiacophrenic artery🙂

This is exactly waht I'm thinking. Yes, I have an ample enough wardrobe to look good for clinicals and other such occasions, but why should I wear it everyday just to sit in class and look pretty?? Yes, we are professionals now, but we're students as well. It's just my opinion, but getting all jazzed up to sit in a lecture hall all day doesn't seem very practical.
