What do PM&R doctors usually wear to work? Scrubs, or shirt and tie?

I really hate wearing scrubs. Everyone at the hospital from the janitor on up wears them. I was doing OB/GYN the last two months, and now I'm doing surgery. After this ****e is over, I really want to wear scrubs like never.
If you're not doing surgeries, I don't see why you would need to wear scrubs. Can you wear a shirt and tie if you want?

100% outpatient pain with ASC in each office. Not practical to change every time you have to go back into the OR.

You have to go the OR each day? That's interesting.
Are you in some sub-specialty of PM&R? I haven't done my PM&R rotation yet, but from what I read about it, it didn't seem like there would be much reason to go in an operating room.
Avoiding OR's is one reason that I wanted to go into PM&R in the first place. After 3 months of no daylight in OB/GYN and Surgery, I've had enough of the operating room.

I believe Dr. Lobel is in the sub-speciality of interventional pain/spine, the speciality of PM&R typically does not require OR time except during a rotation with the interventional folks.
The bottom line is that you could dress up to your heart's content...

Dress varies from institution, and depends on the rotation. During residency, I wore khakis, with either a shirt and tie, just a dress shirt, or a scrub top, depending on the occasion. In fellowship, I wear khakis, and then wear a polo shirt most of the time, but occasionally wear a buttondown or scrub top. I have only worn a tie for meetings, not for clinic.

I can tell you I have seen my attending physicians wear a wide range of clothing including:
a green and yellow w RIC logo spandex bike "shirt" with khakis
pink Emporio Armani shirt with a short plaid tie (short ties are in, you know)
matching suit skirt (about 3-5in above knees) of different colors
nice 5 inch platform heels
On a seperate note, I have seen our esteemed sports and spine fellow wear shorts under his white coat in anatomy - thus achieving the classic "flasher" look.

Generally business-casual (pants of some kind, button down of some kind, and we have some attendings trying to guilt us into wearing ties every day).
Although this varies wildly depending on the rotation, specifically Spine where scrubs is appropriate, and research, where I rolled into grand rounds in shorts and flip flops.
Pet peeve: Business casual, with tennis shoes, on men.

Unfortunately, we have to wear a coat and tie EVERY DAY. It's nice in that it creates a professional atmosphere but it gets old. We can wear scrubs on our interventional pain rotations.

That's fine with me. I'll wear loose khakhi pants, with a polo shirt if I can get away with it.
I just hate wearing scrubs. I've worn them every single day for the past 3 months. I get two kinds of weekends: one which I'm expected to round both days, or ones on which I'm on call on either Saturday or Sunday.
I've been shat on not only by patients, but also by the OB/GYN and Surgery doctors who pull down their pants and take a dump on my face each day. Bad memories of scrubs. Bad memories.
