START DATE: JAN 2024

Thanks for your interest in the Evidence Based Hair Fellowship!  This virtual training program has been several years in the making and I’m excited to launch this program starting Jan 3,  2024.  The program runs Jan 2024 to Aug 2025.

This program was born out of an expressed need communicated to me by many health care practitioners to have an additional educational resource available to complement many of the currently available learning endeavours like participation in formal academic training programs, textbook and journal reading, attendance at training programs, research training – as well as the great learning that happens seeing patients!  

The EBHF program was created to nurture and mentor budding hair specialists at many levels in their development. The needs will be very different for different participants and that’s what this program is all about. Through discussions with medical educators, experienced specialists, medical trainees, physicians, hair transplant surgeons as well as non-medical hair professionals, the Donovan Hair Academy has created a training program that will help foster the progressive development of our next generation of hair loss experts around the world.

The EBHF training program is intense  - and so I would encourage those interested to reflect on the training program outline found below and ensure that one has at minimum 5 hours available each week to dedicate to the training program. This program involves over 500 hours  of training so it’s a program for those who want to become our hair loss leaders of tomorrow.

This 500 hour training fellowship includes attendance at weekly meetings, and completion of assignments. For most participants, I would estimate it will be around 6 hours, although one can dive in extremely deep and easily spend 10 hours or more. But I would like participants to have available 5 hours – 3 hours for meetings, 1 hour for podcast review and a minimum of 1 hour for assignments.

I would like to point out that this training program is certainly not for everyone – but is for those who wish to dive into this field with an intensity and rigour that will surely see them equipped with valuable skills to genuinely help a broad array of patients following completion of training.   

It does not take long to become a practitioner who sees hair patients. But it takes time to create an expert – and that’s our goal of this training program.  It is truly my goal to help ensure that I can do something positive to ensure  there is a new group of hair specialists.

Through repetition and constant reinforcement of material,  the EBHF will help practitioners to learn new material, incorporate the new material with previously learned material, correct faulty thinking, and ultimately develop new problem solving strategies.

The EBHF training program is organized into blocks. There are assignments each week that are meant to challenge the participant to quickly recall information and think critically. Quizzes are provided throughout the program to help participants self-assess their progress. I’m not focuses on scores and performance on quizzes – but I’d like participants to be focused on their learning! 

There is time each week set aside for question and answer sessions with me. The hope is that these Question and Answer sessions provide practitioners with the opportunity to ask questions relating to lecture material and assignments …. but also specific situations they have seen during the week.   

This training program is very much an evolution and my goal is to support each participant in their own unique ways. Be sure to indicate in your application what exactly are your personal goals so that I might try my best to help you achieve them.

I look forward to receiving your applications!
