Is it only to go to clinics?
Nope we also wear them for didactic classes and pre-clinic lab in D1 & D2. So scrubs for all 4 years.
Yes. Too tired to do anything else.
Dress code at UCLA: For classes, whatever you want. For preclinical lab, whatever long pants you got + closed toe shoes. For clinic + lab, ceil blue scrubs + closed toe shoes.
Me too. Can't believe some DS require scrubs worn for classes outside of clinic.
Same here. Scrubs are only required for clinic. Some people wore them for pre-clinical lab, but it wasn't required.
Scrubs required whenever we are on campus. Green scrubs required in the clinic, any color in lab.
My school was scrubs or business casual in sim lab and clinical. Colors didn’t matter. We had bright pink, salmon, orange, yellow scrub wearers. Class was whatever you wanted.
Went to a school interview where the dress code was professional attire for all 4 years, no matter the situation. They wanted to stress the importance of “looking like a professional.”
Thank goodness I wasn’t accepted. Probably would have gone absolutely mad. Put me with the rest of the “unprofessional” frumpy scrub wearing crew!

We have to wear business causal for lectures and clinic at UNE! We only wear scrubs on 4th year externships and anatomy lab lol
I like wearing scrubs. We didn't have to wear them for our didactic lectures, but all the time other than that. You could wear any color or type.
I will continue wearing scrubs in practice I think. Its way easier than professional clothes

Depends on the school. MOSDOH is business casual or scrubs for D1/D2 then scrubs for D3/D4
A&M (up until this year)
My school has us wear our scrubs whenever we’re in the building so didactic, lab, and eventually clinic. We at least get our choice of 3 colors we can wear: grey, red, and black.
Honestly they are pretty comfy and feel like pajamas so we don’t mind. We can wear whatever sweatshirts or things over them if the rooms are cold
