Attire
Since private practices are more sensitive about public image, dress should be strictly professional. Our male Physical Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant students wear dress slacks, coordinating shirt and tie and dress shoes. Female Physical Therapist and Physical Therapist Assistant students dress slacks with coordinating dress blouse / sweater and dress shoes, flat and not large heeled shoes. Slacks should be proper length (top of shoes) and not be too tight as to hug legs or buttocks. Physical Therapist students also wear white lab jackets. PTA’s are also permitted to wear their school uniform/polo if it meets the clinic’s standards. All students must maintain their clothing and shoes in a clean manner and replace worn articles. The following is a list of guidelines that apply, regardless of working area:
1. Hair style: No Mohawks, engraved markings, such as letters or symbols, or exotic coloring. All lengths and styles should be professional. Men’s facial hair should be kept trimmed.
2. Jewelry: Females can wear up to two earrings in each ear. Earrings should be low profile or professional, not dangling. Earrings for males are considered inappropriate. All jewelry worn should be simple and of professional appearance. No jewelry with questionable symbols or obscenities are permitted. No pierced nose/lip/tongue jewelry is permitted.
3. Tattoos: All tattoos should be kept covered, if possible.
