Have my first second look later this week. Was thinking I should wear a dark suit... 🙁

Any other opinions?
i was wondering the same. i guess it depends on what u will be doing. i figure to get up early and follow an intern around does not lend itself well to wearing a suit 🙂 did u ask the program?
 
I just wore a shirt and tie. No suit.
 
P.S. There was one program that actually requested that I wear a white coat. I thought that was kind of crappy. Didn't wind up going there.
 
a guy who did a second look at my home program last year just wore shirt and tie. No white coat, but a regular coat. Just look
professional.
 
I actually asked one of the chief residents what one would wear, and she said that you should wear whatever you normally do on your rotations. So, for guys a shirt and tie would be fine. A white coat was not necessary (though you might want to ask about that directly, in case the program requires that you do wear one).
 
Thanks for all of your replies. I'll be wearing a shirt and tie (no whitecoat).
