The Forsyth School of Dental Hygiene has stringent clinical attire criteria, which will be reviewed when you arrive for your first day of pre-clinic. In the meantime, here is some preliminary information regarding uniforms, scrub caps, shoes, and socks that you will need to purchase:
Scrubs and warm up jackets can be purchased online from any vendor or through the local vendor Uniforms for America. Scrubs and warm up jackets will also be available to try on and purchase from Uniforms for America during on-campus orientation on September 1, 2022. Students should only purchase approved uniforms (Cherokee Workwear brand only) of the designated color to be worn at Forsyth clinic.
- Scrubs sets (two sets: pants, top and jacket) should be purchased as soon as possible but no later than September 12, 2022. Worcester students should purchase Cherokee Workwear black colored scrubs. Students are strongly encouraged to make the purchases online in order to meet the deadline.
- Shoes should be all leather with a full heel/back (slip-ons or shoes with back straps are not acceptable). There should be no shoelaces, nylon, mesh, or cloth on them.
- Shoes can be any color but should have minimal logos and/or additional colors.
- Socks must be high enough to cover exposed skin when clinician is seated. The color of socks is optional, but the design must remain professional.
- Scrub cap - any color/professional design acceptable as long as it covers all hair (a disposable bouffant cap will be provided if you decide not to purchase your own).
Uniform compliance is due no later than September 12, 2022. Lack of compliance after this date will result in dismissal from the lab.
