Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Osteopathic Medicine (KPCOM)—Osteopathic Medicine Program 2024–2025 157 2. Dress Code in the Clinical Setting and on Clinical Rotations Students must present themselves in professional attire and have on their person university ID at all times, specifically: This means a lab coat, a dress or slacks/skirt with blouse, shirt and tie, dress pants, and dress shoes that completely protect the foot. On some rotations, students may be permitted to wear scrubs. This is typically for rotations that require the students to be in the operating room or doing procedures that may otherwise soil professional attire. This will be at the discretion of the preceptor and any violations will be reported to the Office of Clinical Education. When PPE is required in the patient care setting, it will be provided to KPCOM students either by the training site or by KPCOM’s Office of Clinical Education. Students will be informed by the Office of Clinical Education as to where they can obtain PPE (when required). Regardless of the dress code at the clinical training site, KPCOM students are expected to comply with the Standard D.O. Program Dress Code and the Written Exam Dress Code when they are on KPCOM campus. 3. Zoom Meetings/Remote Testing Dress Code Osteopathic medical students are expected to conduct themselves as medical professionals in every setting, including Zoom or other online settings. Attending Zoom classes or Zoom meetings should be considered the same as attending in person. The same standards of behavior and dress code apply whether students are present, on campus or virtually. The following guidelines are to assist students in making good decisions regarding virtual/computerbased classes and meetings: Do • Get ready for class just as you would an in-person class. Dress and groom as you would for an in-person class, have textbooks and other materials you need for class with you and find a place where you can remain alert and focused such as near a window or lamp. • Attend class through a laptop or computer. Phones and tablets may not work very well. • Make sure your audio works. You need to be able to hear and be heard by others. Earphones, earbuds, and headsets can improve audio and should always be used if others are nearby. Occasional audio problems are expected, but if your audio regularly breaks up and you can’t hear or be heard, seek a device upgrade or a better Wi-Fi location. • Before class, review the plan for the day’s session. Check the syllabus and the most recent announcement or email that your professor has sent so you. • Engage during class using the communication channels your instructor recommends. Instructors may ask that you use the icons and features available in Zoom (like the hand-raising option). Speak up directly, use the chat, answer polls, or participate in other interactive elements—or they may encourage use of many channels.
