what should I wear for an interview?

Discount Medical Scrubs

Is it better to wear business attire or nice looking scrubs( general uniform for medical professionals) on an interview for a position as a Medical Assistant? Would I not be "looking the part" if I go in business type clothing?
Thanks for the helpful tips. I have an interview tomorrow and am not wearing scrubs.

DO NOT wear scrubs. Even when interviewing medical professionals (which is my job, I run a doctors office) I expect my interviewees to be dressed professionally and appropriately. You should wear a nice pant or skirt suit, or a nice pair of slacks with a blouse. No tank tops, jeans, shorts, cleavage or stomach showing. In my office, I also prefer that you dont wear flipflops and that your clothes fit nicely (not too baggy or too tight). Your shoes should not be scuffed, and your purse should be professional.Also, keep your hair, makeup, and jewelry modest. I am not looking for your fashion sense.

Above all I would make sure you pick nice clothes and accessories that make you look and more importantly FEEL professional and comfortable.
And PLEASE make sure you have done some research about the practice you are interviewing with (i.e. what type of medicine, how many doctors, specialties etc), it will make you appear intelligent and enable you to engage in conversation with your interviewer.
