The exception to this clinic attire is scrub suits described in the following paragraphs. Scrubs must be either blue or green for dental students with no lettering and maintained in a clean and presentable manner. Allied dental health programs may select scrub of a color other than blue or green. Shoes with scrubs are to be plain white and kept in good condition. Clean, white athletic-style shoes are suitable for use with scrub suits.
Students pay for and clean their own surgical gowns.
Students should strive for professional appearance in all locations throughout the dental school or elsewhere at the medical center. Street clothing described in the clinic section above is preferred for most types of activities at the school. A slightly more casual look is acceptable outside the clinics, although students and employees are encouraged to err on the conservative side if they are in doubt about the appropriateness of certain items of apparel. Socks or hosiery must be worn by everyone at all times. Name tags must be attached to the gowns.
