i was just wondering whats the ideal length for an overall/doctor's whote coat ? specially the one we r going to use for the CS exam?

weather it should end at ur knees or above them or below them ?

is there any standard or doesnt much matters ?

maybe its a bit stupid question but i was kinda curious .

see ya.

you never know what you can become........

you were the short coat, until you are a licensed MD in the US. then you get the knee length one when you start residency. believ it or not, MOST MDs will tear you apart if they catch you wearing a longer coat when you are still not an MD(being an MD in another country doesnt count,either. Until you have a license in the USA, you still are NOT considered a doctor!)

They'll be able to tell if your not wearing any clothes under there for some time...

I'm confuse. I thought you got a license only after you finished your residency. What do you mean having a licence then start residency?

you CANNOT practice medicine without a license. as a resident, you have a limited license. but it is still a license.

Ummm... I guess you can call the "registration" with the boards a "license."

In many states, residents merely "register" with the boards (or the hospital simply submit a list of residents). Until you obtain a full, unrestricted medical license, it's not a "license" per se... more like a "permssion for training."

Students should wear short coats. It is tradition. G
