Most medical schools will either provide students with scrubs, or provide a means of purchasing scrubs. However, the exchange of scrubs usually does not occur until the clinical years. Most of you will want to purchase some scrubs for gross anatomy during your first year. A simple google or eBay search will surely result in plenty of options. However, you DO NOT want to keep those scrubs after anatomy! So, here is a suggestion, go to the local thrift store and buy a pair for a couple bucks…then throw them away.
Any thrift store close to a hospital will be teeming with used scrubs from MDs, nurses, and techs. Find your local store and stock up. Here are some helpful links for finding your closest
My name is Andrew and I am a first year resident training to be an ophthalmologist. I created ShortWhiteCoats to provide medical students, residents, and the public with all the information I spent so many hours looking for during medical school.
