  1. I would like to thank those who have posted their views on this topic. To clarify a few points, I would like to state that the ABHRS is NOT dedicated to providing an exchange forum for medical information, or to being a watchdog organization. Those functions are well served by the ISHRS (educational) and the Internet forums. The sole purpose of the ABHRS is to provide a credible examination process to test whether physicians possess a certain body of knowledge in the field of hair restoration. So far, in its 10 years of providing its examination, the ABHRS has not been questioned with regard to the scope and fairness of its exam, or the integrity of the examination process itself. Certainly, there are differing opinions regarding whether this type of examination is necessary in the field of hair restoration and whether the term "board" should be utilized. I would like to assure you that I bring an open mind to any discussion.

     

    On the other hand, it is my opinion that physicians who possess certain knowledge will be better prepared to successfully handle situations which might arise in the actual practice of hair restoration, and that, encouraging physicians to acquire this knowledge, in turn, will help patients. That is not to say that EXPERTISE in performing certain surgical techniques can be taught by books or tested with examinations. In this regard, I feel that regular posting of patient results and commentary to the public is crucial in educating patients with regards to physician expertise. I only ask the readers to have an open mind as well, and consider the DIFFERENT contributions that, medical education ,encouraging and testing physicians' knowledge as well as open Internet forums provide towards the common goal of improving patient results.

     

    Thank you,
