Dress code
Section outline
-
This is a professional course, and so the manner in which you dress in clinical settings should reflect the expectations of your home country.
Hospital/clinic setting
In the hospital, or in clinical settings, you should expect to be dressed smart. White coats or scrubs are mandatory. As parts of the hospital are open to the outdoors and hence can get hot, it is reasonable to wear short-sleeved dress or shirts. Conversely, some parts of the hospital may have airconditioning, and hence having light clothing for the mild cold is reasonable. Avoid open-toe shoes - trainers/sneakers may be used if paired with scrubs and acceptable in professional practice in your country.
Community setting
A more smart casual dress will be appropriate here. Consider using the course-provided polos.
