THE PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM

In 1974, the International Association of Trichologists was founded with the principal purpose of developing an educational course which would supply the necessary training to becoming a qualified trichologist.

The trichology program was developed at the University of Southern California during 1974/75 under the guidance of David Salinger. The program took 2 years to develop and consists of written materials and photographs.

The program gives students an understanding of the problems associated with the hair and scalp and teaches how to recognise such problems and treat them, when it falls within a trichologist’s scope to do so.

The program has been designed in modular form and recognises the prior learning of students.
