premedic Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 From today's discussion, with belts and suspenders as well. Definitely would boost your confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngdad Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm thinking patent leather shoes, five button tux with tails, bow tie, and cummerbund. Debating whether I should bring a single long stem rose. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngdad Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 Wear a half-face mask as well, and have enough roses for all the interviewers. Tie clips with diamond studs and nice cuff-links also help. ooooo I like your style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAdlCruz Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 hey just making sure, guys normally wear suit/tie to med interviews, i take it? A suit and tie, but not something incredibly self-indulgent or ostentatious like a three-piece suit or ghetto bling or a full Windsor knot that you aren't quite ready for. A cheap suit that fits well will always look better than one that is pricey and ill-fitting. At least, a jacket, dress shirt, a tie, dress pants and conservative leather shoes. No denim, no white sports socks. If you have never worn business attire before, make sure to spend a couple days in it so you don't look like it's your first day ever wearing a suit. Food for thought: when you work as a doc, you want to inspire confidence on one hand, but you also do not want to dress in a way that places the attention on you rather than on the patient.

Anyway, I have never seen guys wearing anything less than a suit to a medical school interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan0105 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Full windsor all the way. Quick, easy, and symmetrical. I second the full windsor. And btw, last year there were a total of two guys at my time slot who had sweater vests instead of suit jackets, man did they look under dressed...

Melony Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What do the ladies wear? Professional business attire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babydoctor Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 What do the ladies wear? Professional business attire? Yeah, I think so. I've been wondering the same thing, but the answers I got were really general (you know, "look professional", "no cleavage", that sort of thing), so I just went out and got a flattering pantsuit with a collared shirt to go underneath. Hopefully it'll look alright and I won't stick out like a sore thumb or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Most of the ladies at my other interviews were wearing skirt or pant suits. Most had collared shirts underneath of various colours. There may have been a couple women not wearing suits but still dress pants and a collared shirt. You definitely won't be overdressed in a suit though...it's the people who don't wear suits that stick out (not in a bad way but still..) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkmunk Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 From what I recall, nearly everyone was wearing a pantsuit (male and female). Dark pant suit at that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
