Level II - Clinical Trichology Residency™

College of Trichology Science

The Clinical Trichology Residency™ is the Level II applied clinical pathway within the College of Trichology Science at KISSED University of Healing Arts & Sciences. Designed for students who have completed foundational trichology theory through the Certified Scalp Scientist™ program or approved equivalent education, the Residency bridges academic knowledge with practical clinical application. Students develop competency in professional consultation, clinical intake, microscopic hair and scalp analysis, documentation, clinical reasoning, supportive protocol development, herbal trichology applications, therapeutic scalp modalities, technology-assisted wellness assessment, client education, scope of practice, professional referral, and clinical operations. Applied study includes microscopic hair and scalp analysis; microneedling principles and safety; low-level light/laser therapy; high-frequency therapy; scalp stimulation and rejuvenation; herbal scalp detoxification; herbal infusion therapy; biocommunication and wellness scanning; KCIS clinical software; clinical documentation; case management; cranial prosthesis and non-surgical hair replacement; and foundational education regarding professional credentialing and insurance-related processes for applicable hair replacement services. Students may complete the Clinical Trichology Residency through an approved online clinical pathway or scheduled in-person clinical residency. Both pathways are designed around defined learning outcomes and competency requirements, although specific hands-on activities, equipment access, demonstrations, and assessment methods may vary by delivery format. Completion of Level II does not require students to repeat Level I coursework. Students who successfully complete both Level I — Certified Scalp Scientist™ and Level II — Clinical Trichology Residency™ satisfy the core academic and clinical components of the Level III Certified Clinical Trichologist™ pathway, subject to completion of the University's applicable culminating credential requirements.
