MEDICAL COLLEGE DRESS CODE

Students will be expected to be neat and clean. Since a high level of professional appearance is important in courses, such as those involving field visits, and since clothing may be damaged by chemicals or laborato­ry compounds in certain laboratory courses, each course director will set standards for dress in classrooms, laboratories, and extramural assign­ments, with the understanding that reasonable standards will be applied. Students will be informed of the dress code for these courses at the begin­ning of each course. For preclinical laboratory courses that use the clinic from time to time, the dress standards for the clinic will be maintained.

Professional appearance should be maintained at all times by all stu­dents.

Hair must be kept clean, neat, and out of the patient's or operator's eyes. Although there is no restriction on hair length of students, long hair must be pinned up while in clinic.

Nails should be kept clean and trimmed sufficiently to ensure effi­cient work and cleanliness.

General attire:

Dresses, slacks, or jeans are acceptable (excluded are tye-dye jeans, jeans with holes or slits, and dirty or worn-out jeans). Shorts are not acceptable.

Casual or dress shirts (long or short sleeve), polo type shirts with col­lars, sweaters, and neat, clean, "designer" type sweater shirts are all acceptable. T-shirts are not acceptable.

Most varieties of footwear are acceptable as long as they are clean and presentable. Thongs are not acceptable. Socks or hosiery must be worn at all times.

Clinic attire:

Students must wear a long-sleeve gown/lab coat when they reasonably anticipate that forearms will be splattered with blood or saliva. The gown/lab coat must prevent blood or saliva from reaching work clothes, street clothes or skin. If there is minimal or no risk of exposure to blood or saliva, short-sleeve attire (such as a scrub top) is acceptable. An exam­ple of such a procedure would be an oral examination.

The school will provide long-sleeve gowns for students and will laun­der contaminated gowns. Street clothes or work clothes worn under gowns are not the responsibility of the institution to launder.

Scrubs. Students must wear scrub tops and pants as general clinic attire. Two sets of scrubs will be part of the student kit. Students will be responsible for laundering them. Scrubs should not be worn to or from school.

Gowns. Students must wear a long-sleeve gown provided in each clin­ic dispensary for those procedures in which splatter with blood or saliva is likely. Contaminated gowns must be turned in at the end of the clinic ses­sion in the container designated in each clinic. Gowns may be worn going from clinic to clinic/laboratory during patient care. Do not go to the Student Commons or leave the building for any reason with the gowns on.

III. Comment on the following points mentioned in the text (1, 5, 6, 8, 9) and compare with the Ukrainian mode of holding course and final examinations.

GUIDELINES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF MAJOR EXAMINATIONS IN US MEDICAL COLLEGES

1. Examinations will be prepared in a minimum of two different forms and/or the examination will be given in a room or rooms large enough to provide^ one empty seat space between each stu­dent.

2. A list of seat assignments will be posted outside the room immedi­ately prior to the examination. All students will occupy their assigned seats for the examination.

3. At least one proctor will be present in the room during the entire examination. If more than one proctor is present, one proctor will be designated as chief proctor. Proctors will be assigned to the hall area and restroom areas as deemed necessary by the course director.

4. Answer keys for the examination will not be posted before all stu­dents have turned in their examination materials.

5. Examinations will begin promptly at the announced time. Students who arrive more then 10 minutes late may not be permitted to take the examination. Examination procedures for late arriving stu­dents will be determined by the academic department responsible for the examination.

6. Pencils and erasers are the only writing materials permitted in the room during the examination. Hats, study materials, backpacks, briefcases, audio equipment, and earphones will not be allowed in the examination room. Calculators may be permitted at the discre­tion of the course director.

9. Students who finish the examination early will follow the proce­dure established by examination room quietly, and must immedi­ately leave the examination area, which includes the hallway and restrooms used by the examinees.

10. Final examinations are given at the course director's discretion or according to the College of Dentistry's final examination schedule. The student must take the examination at the time it is scheduled, unless specifically excused by the course director.

11. Course directors, with the approval of their department chairman, have the final option to modify the administration of examinations.
