By pushing the boundaries of knowledge and positioning itself as a socially responsible institution, Tehran University of Medical Sciences has made significant strides in education, research, healthcare, and particularly in serving the underprivileged, fulfilling its social obligations. The university's achievements and activities are regularly shared with the public through various episodes under the title TUMS, published on social media platforms.

This episode of TUMS BRAND serves as a guide for medical students and staff at Tehran University of Medical Sciences regarding appropriate attire. Three key factors must be considered: institutional guidelines, personal preference, and patient perception of your appearance. Studies have shown that the clothing of medical students and staff is indeed significant. Whether we like it or not, people's first impression of you is formed by your attire. In other words, people instantly judge your trustworthiness, competence, intelligence, and even socioeconomic status based on your clothing. This perception is even more pronounced for physicians and healthcare professionals, as patients place a higher degree of trust in them and expect a higher level of professionalism. Your attire helps you to distinguish yourself from others, making it clear to patients that you are a member of the healthcare team, such as a doctor, nurse, or medical assistant.
