The Ultimate Guide to Penn Medicine Apparel: Stores, Sizing, and Orders
By Marcus Vance
Procuring authentic medical attire requires steering clear of counterfeit embroidery outfits and unvetted online vendors that lack authorization to reproduce the University of Pennsylvania Health System shield. Penn Medicine employees and incoming residents have three vetted purchasing avenues.
The primary brick-and-mortar hub is the UPenn bookstore medical apparel section, situated at 3601 Walnut Street on the university campus. The bookstore carries an inventory of clinical gear, housing traditional Cherokee and WonderWink scrubs, student dissection lab coats, and lifestyle collegiate merchandise. Staff presenting their PennKey or physical hospital ID badge receive an in-store professional discount on approved workwear.
For online procurement, staff access the official Penn Med uniform store through hospital intranet systems or contracted vendors such as Uniform Advantage and Smart Scrubs. These platforms maintain pre-digitized embroidery files matching precise health system typography and pantone colors. Staff members should also check their unit-level employee apparel discount portal accessible through the internal Penn Intranet (Penn Life/PennKey authentication), which frequently issues seasonal discount vouchers ranging from 10% to 20% on routine scrub replacements.
