forgive my ignorance, but what is the norm, and what would be acceptable as far as fashionable goes?

LMAO.Don’t be the guy with the hand carved wooden bow tie. I’ve seen it on the med school trail.
Interviews aren't the place to re-invent business professional fashion norms. I distinctly remember a woman that interviewed in snakeskin high heels in the Midwest. No, we aren't in California or San Antonio. Leave that crap at home.
Similarly for guys, don't re-invent the wheel. Navy or charcoal suit, dress shirt, tie. White or blue dress shirt without a weird pattern. Brown or black dress shoes (Oxfords) with a matching belt. Don't wear a bowtie, for the love of God. You aren't a pediatrician in South Carolina. No weird-colored suits, no neon dress shirts from Express. Just blend in. If you don't have one, just go to Suit Supply and buy their entry-level navy suit and get some dress shirts from wherever else. Oxfords from Allen Edmonds (Park Avenue) or something similar. Don't wear loafers or boat shoes or cowboy boots with a suit.
For pre-interview social events, I just wore chinos with a button-down shirt and casual boots. Seemed to fit in as most of these places were at a bar or one of the resident's houses. Look comfortable but smart.
Not even conservative bow ties? :/
