What is the dress code? Just business casual? Dressy shirts, nice pants, etc?

Bikinis.

Bikinis.

Preferably string...😱

Seriously, use good taste. I'm remembering a 3rd year who wore a skirt so tight she could barely walk (skirt was down to the knee), 4 inch or so heels, long nails with the CZs on 'em and a silk blouse that appeared painted on....topped it off with her hair piled high on her head and completed the ensemble with a white coat and stethoscope.....No, I am not kidding....

PLEASE use good taste. I have seen 3rd year students (not from my school) wearing mini-skirts, no hosiery, spike heels, tight button shirts (tight to the point the front was gaping open), and no underwear. With silver eyeliner, fake eyelashes, and large hoop earrings. I also am not kidding.

I've also seen 3rd year students show up in jeans, holey sneakers, and t-shirts.

Neither is appropriate.

The wardrobe choices by some of the girls at my school are shocking. Second year when we do our physical diagnosis class a ton of them seem to go out and buy a whole new "professional" wardrobe that is in actuality anything but professional. Short, tight skirts, way too much cleavage, etc. One girl wore a see-through blouse on attending rounds!

Fortunately we have a few strong-natured female attendings who set them straight early on in third year.

I was advised that women (and men) should not show their midriff. The attending who told me this also hinted that those women could end up sending their older male patients into ventricular fibrillation. So, you've been warned.

We were sternly lectured once by an attending for wearing jeans to an M2 lecture (with no patient contact), which is what we always did. She was sporting some ample midriff though, which made her whole point seem rather ironic.

dress for the job you want, not the job you have

although... that might send out the idea that you aspire to be a *****
