Dr. Kiran C. Patel College of Allopathic Medicine (NSU MD) 2025–2026 157 If a student’s personal appearance is inappropriate, the student may be asked to leave the campus or workplace until the student is properly dressed or groomed. This may require remediation of missed educational experiences. NSU MD respects cultural awareness and, to the extent reasonably possible, will support individual practices as they comply with the following professional attire and grooming standards. Reasonable accommodation may also be made in the case of a person with a disability.
