85 NMT Clinical Uniform / Dress Code
NMT Student Uniform (Dress Code)
The student uniform guidelines listed below are designed to promote a professional appearance. If doubt should arise as to the appropriateness of a particular uniform or the overall appearance of a student, the matter will be reviewed by the program director or RISP clinical instructor. The RISP faculty members and all hospital/clinical staff working with students (e.g. technologists, nurses and physicians) have the right to send a student home if they feel the student is inappropriately attired, has an unprofessional appearance, or is otherwise violating the dress code policy (see Inappropriate and Unacceptable Attire). Failure to abide by the uniform policy may result in point reductions on clinic evaluations.
The required student uniform is any style of Cherokee brand scrubs in the wine color. These can be purchased at a variety of places. At this time, The Uniform House located at 1927 N. Capitol Avenue, Indianapolis (not far from campus) is providing a 15% discount for IU Radiography students. For store hours, ordering, shipping, or more information, contact them at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
The basic uniform will consist of:
- 1) Solid wine colored pants and the same solid wine colored shirt or top.
- 2) Solid black or white long-sleeved shirt or a solid black or white sleeveless or short-sleeved t-shirt may be worn under the uniform top for warmth. (t-shirt sleeves may not extend beyond the sleeve or bottom of the uniform top)
- 3) White or wine colored Cherokee lab coat that can be worn over the uniform top for a more professional appearance. NO OTHER COVERUP IS ALLOWED. *Please note that this is optional for other RISP students.
Students are advised to talk to the Program Director if they have questions about shoes or apparel before purchasing articles to wear to clinic.
