WHAT TO WEAR TO MED INTERVIEWS??

Hi, pretty much the title says it all.
This is on behalf on my brother--should he wear smart casual (jeans/shirt) or semi-formal(suit trousers/ formal shirt)

Thanks :)

Jeans are not okay. Slacks or suit pants with a shirt. Tie is semi optional. Wear nice shoes, not runners.

As Russ said, ask him to suit up but remove the jacket. Take a tie and he can always remove it if he feels overdressed.

First impressions count, it's always better to overdress than underdress.

You can wear thongs and shorts if you want, its just a dumb idea. You'll be interviewed by aa bunch of conservatives, don't give them more reasons to not like you. Jeans just aren't appropriate for a professional setting in general

Wear a shirt and trousers, with a white lab coat over the top. Preferably put 2-3 pens in the pocket. If you're really desperate to impress, carry a stethoscope in  ;)

Actually, funny story. I have a mate planning to do Med, and he opened his bag for some reason and a stethoscope fell out. We teased him about how he was so dedicated to becoming a doctor that he was carrying a stethoscope around everywhere he went. As it turned out, it was actually for a role play for his Spanish class.

But in all seriousness, just a shirt and trousers should be fine. It's not worth worrying about too much though. How you conduct yourself will undoubtedly carry more significance.

Some of them do, some of them don't :P Some may have even been told to specifically "not have a humour".
