Three mistakes this checklist prevents

1. Buying the right general color but the wrong manufacturer shade, style, or pant shape.

2. Customizing garments before the fit, spelling, credentials, logo, and placement are approved.

3. Following an older student’s instructions when the current cohort or clinical site uses a newer rule.
