A professional approach is expected of all members of the surgical team. Your attire and conduct should lend dignity to the health care process. Men are expected to wear dress slacks with shirt and tie.
Women are to dress in a similarly profession manner.
Wearing scrub clothes out of the operative suite is discouraged. If they are necessary for a procedure, you must change to clean scrub clothes before leaving the operating suite and change again before re-entering the operating room. Your interactions with the nursing and ancillary staff should reflect an attitude of providing the best possible care for your patients. We hope you will establish habits of quality patient care which will continue throughout your career. It is important that you become highly motivated in your desire to seek additional information about your patients in order to provide the best care.
