Dinner Guests

[GOINGDUMB]

Sorry if this has been discussed... Quick Question:

So suppose I have an old friend from pre med stuff who is currently a med student (M2) at the med school whose residency I am interviewing at...

They have a dinner the night before and want to know if I wanna bring a guest.

Can I bring her?

can you bring guests? and no, i really don't think you should bring your friend unless this guest is your spouse or SO. i would think it's just weird otherwise and your fellow residents might be thinking

I think by guest the mean someone who you will be making the decision about residency with (i.e. husband, wife, gf, bf). I

No. They (the program) are paying for your meals, Unless it is a spouse or SO, it isn't appropriate to take any friend with you.

Word. Thanks guys.

My conclusion is this girl is a dinner no-go.

Lets just hope they aren't serving dessert at this

Quick question on a kind-of-related note.

The dinner invites I've received repeatedly state "casual dinner," but how does that translate to attire? Are they implying business casual? (My sex is of the male persuasion.) Are slacks + sport coat okay? Slacks + button-up? Jack-Donaghy-esque full tuxedo?

I don't want to stick out like an idiot. Thanks!

They mean business casual. What you would wear on the wards, minus your white coat and tie. A sport coat would be fine but unnecessary most places.

I've been wearing this to my IV dinners and it seems well received...
