초록

The scientific, professional and reliable image of doctor's coats is changing over the years, and many countries around the world are changing doctor's coat designs or removing them altogether. This study researches the history and significance of doctor's coats, and based on the research, designs and develops new doctor's coats for the Seoul National University Hospital Department of Dermatology where traditional white polyester and cotton coats are still being worn. The positive results of the study indicate that doctor's coat designs can be developed in different directions that reflect certain identities and moods while maintaining professionalism.
