MEDICAL
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT UNIFORM
😷 SCRUBS: Common uniform for medical assistants, some employers provide scrubs, while others require employees to purchase their own. Scrubs may come in different colors, and the color may indicate the employee's role. For example, medical assistants may wear dark blue scrubs to distinguish them from doctors, who may wear light blue or light green scrubs. The color of the scrubs may matter, depending on the office. Different colors symbolize different levels of training in most offices and hospital settings. Doctors and nurses also wear scrubs, so some offices like to have an easy way to differentiate between roles quickly for emergencies.
