CMH EMS Education Manual
During class time, clinical rotations, or lab time, students should wear dark navy or black pants (EMT-style pants preferred), black belt, black shoes (safety boots preferred), and the issued polo-style shirt. If a polo shirt has not been issued for the class, an appropriate blank, collared shirt may be worn as long as it does not indicate the student is an employee of CMH or other organization and cannot be disruptive.
Violations of the dress code and behavior code may be grounds for the PHS Clinical Chief or Instructor to mark the student as absent, excuse the student from the activity, and/or dismiss the student from the program.
Students not wearing the proper uniform will be sent home. Any time patient contact is made, participants with long hair should keep it pulled back; nails should be kept short; and perfume, cologne, and jewelry should be kept to a minimum. Students must must adhere to CMH dress code policy HR03-05. Relevant items in this policy include, but not limited to:
Students that are also employees must not wear employee uniforms or other apparel that might identify them as a non-student while performing as a student with patients present or clinical rotations.
Student uniforms may not be worn outside class activities, except during travel to or travel from a class activity. The intent of this rule is to prohibit students representing CMH while doing non-class sanctioned activities. Incidental stops before and after class activities are acceptable as long as they are within social norms and will not reflect poorly on CMH.
The preferred student uniform polo shirt will be Propper ICE Performance Polo Shirt.
