Baggy is unprofessional? Pants that have some loosen-ness to them actually look more professional, in my humble opinion. Super tight pants that show off your thigh/hip/bottom=== unprofessional.
So even the residents dress formally at the hospitals you rotated at? That is a little weird. I always thought scrubs sorta distinguish residents from attendings at hospitals where the attendings wear formal clothes. Like when I volunteered in the ED all the residents wore scrubs, but there the attendings did as well.
I guess i mean ill-fitting is unprofessional. You can definitely tell the difference between the two.
And yes, every rotation ive had (except surg and ob) it is professional dress and all the places ive rotated at. Same goes for my classmates (highly active on social media lol)
It isn’t super weird, it’s reality. You’re gonna have to get used to the idea.
ED is a scrub friendly place. Some specialties just go that way. When i do my EM sub-i i know i can wear scrubs.
