The International Association of Trichologists (I.A.T.), a non-profit corporation, was established in 1974 to promote the study, research and legitimate practice in all aspects pertaining to the treatment and care of the human hair and scalp in health and disease, and to supply comprehensive instruction and training in the professional application of this scientific specialty.

The trichology course was developed at the University of Southern California during 1974-75.

We have trained students in the U.S.A., Canada, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, South Korea, China, Singapore, India, the West Indies and South Africa.

The I.A.T.

• Administers the educational trichology program to students wishing to specialise in trichology,
• Establishes standards required of people wishing to become qualified trichologists
• Conducts examinations and certifies those students attaining the required level of knowledge and expertise in trichology.
• Sets and maintains ethics and standards for qualified trichologists who are members of the I.A.T.
• Publishes educational books on hair loss and scalp problems.

The trichology course can be undertaken by correspondence (distance learning) through I.A.T., or at some TAFE colleges in Australia. Indian residents can undertake the college course at the MET-RICHFEEL Institute of Trichology, Mumbai Educational Trust. Please see their webpage: www.met.edu
