Raven EMS Education Program Manual
Section 5.37 - Dress Code

During in-person class or lab time, students should wear casual pants or jeans, t-shirt or polo, and shoes that cover the entire foot. Clothing should be free of holes and not be revealing or distracting. The Lead Instructor has discretion to remove a student from class based on offensive, inappropriate, or disruptive dress.

During clinical rotations or when live patients are present, 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.

In all cases above, if the student is being sponsored and paid to attend by an organization with a uniform, that agency’s uniform is appropriate for class or clinical rotations.

Violations of the dress code and behavior code may be grounds for the instructor to mark the student as absent or excuse the student from the activity.

Students not wearing the proper uniform may be sent to change clothes. Any time patient contact is made, the following additional policies should be followed:

Student Uniforms Outside Class

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 Raven 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 Raven.

Shirt Style Details

The student and instructor uniform will be an issued t-shirt or polo shirt with Raven logo. Pants will be dark blue or black (not blue jeans) with a black belt. Shoes will be black boots. Only the shirt will be provided by Raven.
