Yup, you're right. It has gone by the wayside. In clinical practice. Still have to dress formally for the interviews though. I'm also trying to kill a couple birds with one stone. I will still need them for weddings, funerals, conferences, etc. Again, it is all in anticipation of limited income and 250K in debt once I graduate. Then 3-4 years as a resident making low wages. I have to invest wisely and make stuff last.

Most of my trips will be 2-3 days, max. To maximize applicants' time, the schools generally host tours, or other events, for prospective students to get a feel of the atmosphere for the school. So while I may not need multiple suits on the trip, sending the same 1-2 suits to the dry cleaners every couple of weeks will be rough on them if I interview at 8-10 places.

Again, you're right on pairing stuff to maximize outfits. One set of shoes and the like. That's my goal. I'm not wearing a suit on the plane; keeping it casual for the actual transit portion.

That video is exactly what I am trying to find. Thank you for the pointers.
