Professional Dress Code Helps Physicians Earn Patient Confidence, Trust

I’m historically a very conservative dresser, and my bowties allow me the luxury of being “above” the tie fracas; however, I do like scrubs on the weekends, attire that is allowed in our system-wide dress code. I don’t think jeans and T-shirts are ever appropriate for seeing patients in the hospital.

The most important consideration, one that will evolve with the ages, is how our attire influences patient confidence and trust.
