Is it correct English to say you scrubbed in?

Is it slang, or is it formal English?

Can I say
I scrubbed in to view surgeries.
(for AMCAS ahhh)
Thanks

lola....ROFL.

That's what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure it's proper English to use in the personal statement. I guess it must be. Unless if anyone else thinks otherwise please say so ASAP b/c I'm submitting tomorrow morning <img border="0" alt="[Pity]" title="" src="graemlins/pity.gif" />
