Straight outta left field with this one. I mean, I agree in principle but HAVE NEVER seen anything "revealing or low cut" on any girls here.

AND for clarification purposes, what the heck is "no wearing hats on the side"??? LOl does anyone do that? Cause im thinking that wasnt cool about 5 min after it started in 1995.

there were girls in my class today wearing wife beaters(A shirts) and nobody seemed to notice. But, I bet if I wore a hanes wife beater it would be noticed a lot more. If the guys dressed like a lot of the girls do they would be walking around with jeans on so tight our packages would be sticking out wearing wife beaters diguised as "sport tops" ...Dont see too many guys dressed like that..thank god...any how my point is there seems to be a double standard.

Just wait until clinicals....

Men will have to wear dress shirts and a tie (which provides psychotic patients with a handle, and all patients with a fomite) under our coats, while women can get away with a T-shirt under their coats....

There is only a double standard if you let it be. For example me and a certain other unnamed other student have no problem walking around shirtless in the parking lot and will wear wife beaters in class until the air conditioner threatens pneumonia. Flexing mandatory

I think there are a handful of people at our school that sometimes dress inappropriately. Since those people cannot be pinpointed by administration, I don't think the "dress code" flyer was unwarranted. As far as the sideways hat thing goes - I don't even think that needed to be in the dress code flyer. You're not supposed to wear hats in class, period.

Saba owns you or not, the dress code is almost universal...where ever you are you need to dress up accordingly. Most US med schools require female students to wear slacks, skirts-not mini, and nice dress shirts, and men are required to wear dress shirt,pants, ties...They are asking the students to be professional...that's all...

Ties were originated in Croatia as soldiers were the first to wear them around their neck...who knows why...may be they were hiding hickies:twisted: or for uniformity among the soldiers?

Then the French took over the tradition and called it "Cravatte" from the word "Croatta"-Croatia. They produced them in every color, style, length...dots, stars, stripes, solids, pales...ties have become the biggest men's accessory in the world....

Women loved them as they could pull the guy from their neck, I guess...and whatever....

So, it seems really silly to put a tie around your neck....ready to commit suicide almost...:roll:

Now the controlling thing: yeah..The whole human existence about controlling the others...men control women or vice versa...Stronger men control other men...who are on the power control others....to keep the power ...

but your patients are paying you to feel more confortable and dressing in a professional or 'bland' way is the first thing that sets a patient's impression of you. like it or not we all form the impression that a person in a business suit and a lab coat is a better 'doctor' than someone about to enter a 50cent look alike contest or getting ready for a papa roach concert. surveys are even out that have patients preferring a doctor in a shirt and tie rather than scrubs

on the learning bit, we all pay to learn from professors but the learning does not stop in what is tested...otherwise you may as well go to med school on a mail order catalog and listen to hooked on phonics tape lectures. what we learn from the professors is also in the way they act, dress, and interact amongst themselves because for many those PhD's teaching basic science are the first professionals we are in close contact with. so wether good or bad the way they model behavior outside the classroom impacts us far greater than learning a immuno cascade or the insertion of the obturator.....

so if you are wondering wether what you wear makes a difference in the professional world why not show up in a purple pimp suit or all balck goth getup to a job interview...less people for me to compete with. we are in a professional school not 11th grade anymore.

*and all this is coming from someone who actually wore long shorts, jerseys, and hat backwards to class the first few semesters. actually as i sit here right now i have a miami dolphins jersey, hurricames hat, and long shorts..difference is i am at home not in a professional setting which includes school, and that is what you learn one way or another...that each has its place and you don't have to change who you are or what you wear but you gotta know the place and time to dress like the doctor vs the person

you'l be surprised at how long first impresions last. to this day there are people in my class and others who graduated and i would not send my dog to see because of the way the act or the first impression i got from them by the way they looked back in basic science; just like i know there are some people who got a bad impression of me because of the way i dressed and acted during the first few semesters.

you are right though, the importance increases as you go up through the semesters so while it probably matters little in 1 and 2, if you are still acting and dressing like one of the 'high school musical' cast members by 4th into clinicals then you just need more growing up before coming infront of a resident or attending

Saba, the second class med school: so no need to shave, shower, clean up..no need to get a hair cut...or nail done...on the other hand....may be you have a point...Einstein never combed his hair either...but he was a Physicist not an MD.

Can I call a prof, hey dude, yo? After all, I am learning and s/he is teaching....let's talk in classes just like we talk here sometimes;)

I am, by no means advocating wearing Armani or Versace...and the school is not asking you to wear a three piece suit either.

You have a point..... However when one is in a Hospital setting one should look and act in a "professional" manner. Ive been working in a hospital setting for almost 4 yrs now and when my coworkers see me in "street" clothes they dont even recognize me. There is a time and place for everything. At work I wear polos and khaki's or button ups and dressy slacks, but when Im in school I wear jeans, sneaker, ect. What you wear is a representation of what you are. One should feel comforatable in themselves and those around you should accept that aspect. Like I have a tatoo on my arm... sometimes I show it, sometimes I dont. Ive had it for years and everyone at work thinks is new. I do have my ears peirced also, one in each ear and I usually wear one or both earings. No one says a word, nor do patients. If what you wear doesnt affect your performance and ability to provide patient care, why does it matter? You cant live your life trying to please everyone in this world.....

good points and i agree 100% however what should be is not always what is. if you are a lab tech or a nurse that is completely different on how patients view you vs their doctor. for better or worse people hold our profession to higher sometimes unatainable standards and have certain images of what their doctor should be. i have known doctors for more than 10 years and many choose to live far away from their office just so they don't run into patients in their 'street clothes'. one doc that lives a few blocks from his office actually has groceries and everything delivered to avoid going out and if he does need something will drive 30 minutes out of his way


so while what you wear will not impact your ability to provide care it will impact your patients perception of the care provided and we all know that the placebo effect is worth abouit 25% of the effect of medications right?

i am not saying you should try to plesase anyone..all i am saying is that you shouldn't go out of your way to focus attention on your interests, beliefs, hobbies. etc into your clinic because it can affect the way a patient interacts with you. of course all this is from the very limited experience i have had in clinicals and working in a hospital...i may change my mind when i actually start to parctice or any of our elders will chime in and tell me i am way off base on this one......

Before applying to Saba, I spoke with over ten graduates and their residency directors. Four of them were chief residents. All of the residency directors told me that they wouldn't hesitate to hire another Saba graduate. Saba may be a Caribbean school, but it is not a second class school.

To a big degree, the school we choose makes a difference in our future success as physicians. However, I believe that the way we conduct ourselves while in and out of school makes a difference as well. Dress codes are the norm in our chosen profession. I have yet to see a doctor walking around town with his or her hat on backwards or sideways, pants drooping below the waist or with a shirt that revealed too much cleavage.

As we were told on the first day of medical school, we are student physicians and, as such, we are expected to conduct ourselves in a professional manner. If the school has instituted a dress code, suck it up and follow it. (Even if experience tells us that one of our 2nd semester professors likes the way some of the women in our class dress...) The time is soon coming that we will be in clinicals. I guarantee that there will be a dress code there.

As for the Experienced ones who think that 2nd semester is a bunch of losers, let's show up to their classes on time, pay attention and give them the respect that they deserve as our professors. Then they should return in kind.

See you all at 0755 in conservative dress!

its not pessimism. theres a difference between pessimism and honesty. If you cant be honest with yourself about why youre here instead of at a school back home (except for people form provinces that dont have schools) then youre just delusional.

from what a friend of mine told me, some of us are going to be doing rotations at some hospitals where some ivy league students also go. do you think were going to be viewed on the same plane as them. people arent going to treat us how we treat ourselves, theyre going to treat us how they view us. and when they know that you had to go to the caribbean because no US school would take you theyre going to think of you as second class. again this is just honesty. which is going to make the reality easier to deal with. and if it turns out that im wrong then thats great. if they treat us the same as those ivy league fellows thats awesome of them to judge us on knowledge rather than initial appearances (suddenly this has become somewhat relevant to the thread).

one of the programs i rotated at had a saba resident and 2 students that had gone through there and they were in the process of dismissing the resident and they gave me a hard time scheduling the rotation because of those 3 'caribbean' students.

Just saying that most ppl who have trained or worked with Students from Saba have had good experiences and the word seems to be getting around....again....only from my personal experience... :cool: That is all. Everyone have a wonderful evening :D

I aggree with you that some stigma attached to it as it will be always with us not because of the school we graduate from only, but some of us are women, some of us black, some of us gay, atheists, short, some of us are plain stupid, foreign, ugly...you see my point? We learn to deal with problems when we meet them. I have been questioned about my position every single day by many...

I am ready to rumble for this one too if that happens...you have a wonderful evening too.

The Dress code has been blatantly ignored. I mean how did "bikini and bootie shorts day" get past the admins yesterday?
And with the upcoming "topless male 3rd semesters day" --> All hell has broken loose on campus.

any side hats would be allowed, if you can make authorities belive that you are wearing it for a higher authority!

leather one? animal activists would kick your a** though.

Dress code was unwritten rule until this announcement we are discussing was posted. Since then no mention has been made. I dot think there actually is a "dress code" its more that administration wants people to have professional dress and attitude.

I got ya, I thought there was a note that specified what should be worn to class, etc. It sounds as though the administration was not specific in their request. Thanks!
