با سلام خدمت دوستان مواردی که در ذیل می آید عینا از گاید بوک دانشجویان پزشکی دانشگاه کلمبیا در مقطع بالینی کپی شده است. مقایسه موارد ذکر شده در ان(البته با در نظر گرفتن اختلافات فرهنگی) با سیاستهای اعمال شده در بخش به خوبی نشان دهنده مشترکات اخلاقی در کل دنیاست:

· Hair should be neat; when in doubt, pull it back. Men’s beards are acceptable when neatly trimmed. No facial piercings or dangling earrings. A minimum of jewelry such as wedding rings or class rings are acceptable. Multiple rings, i.e., one on each finger, are unacceptable.

· Button-down shirts should not be open below the second button (sterno-manubrial junction). Ties are mandatory for men. No jeans or cargo pants or cut-offs.

· Shoes should be polished, neat and clean, and always with closed toes. Do not wear sandals in patient care areas because dropped needles may pierce your feet.

· Clean sneakers when wearing scrubs are acceptable.

· Clogs are acceptable.

· Hiking boots are acceptable in the winter.

· Refrain from use of perfume and cologne.

· Women should wear professional blouses or sweaters. Low cut or clinging shirts, sweaters or blouses are inappropriate.

· Skirts should be at least three inches below the white coat and below the knee if no stockings are worn. Shorter skirts are acceptable with tights or stockings. No clam-digger or Capri pants, jeans, cargo pants or leggings without skirts. Minimize excessively bright, dark or creatively-colorful polish.

· Students who wear glasses should continue to wear them as they are protective from splashed material.

· Students with cuts, abrasions or lacerations, should cover them with tegaderm or similar water impervious material.

· Glasses and masks should be worn even when Faculty and house officers do not.
