    Find a cute v-neck shirt and matching colored pants to look like scrubs. Light blue and green are good colors. Remember nurses and surgeons wear scrubs too so add a name badge saying Dr. Jones if you like. If you want real scrubs, find a local store that sells them.

    Go to a store to find a first aid kit. This can imitate things that a doctor might have or carry around. You can also get a pretend one. A stethoscope is a classic item make doctors carry.

    Have a stethoscope around your neck. Some doctors wear a stethoscope around their necks for fast and easy access. Real stethoscopes are pretty pricey, but fake, plastic, and pretend ones are a few bucks.

    Remember lots of doctors go to work in ordinary clothes. General Practitioners who deal with a wide variety of patients in clinics or health centres usually dress conventionally, like any adult going to work in an office. A doctor in private practice might wear a suit at work and someone who works with children might wear a fun tie, some funky socks or a colorful shirt to bring a little cheer to poorly children.

    Some doctor's are self-employed, meaning they own their own practice and they are their own boss. Some doctors work for a hospital and some work for the government, for community medical clinics, etc.
