Clothing
In order to maintain the necessary level of hygiene when treating patients with acupuncture, students will be asked to wear a short white coats or a white shirt over their outdoor clothing. Out door shoes are not worn in the clinic so it is a good idea to buy a pair of cheap light coloured canvass shoes to wear.
During the supervised treatment of patients in the Clinic students will be expected to maintain an appropriate professional appearance.
