This fee is required to maintain active Board Certification status through the International Board of Trichology and Holistic Medicine (IBTHM). Board Certification is granted for a defined certification term of 1 year and must be renewed to ensure continued recognition of professional competency, ethical standing, and commitment to ongoing education and professional development.
 
Renewal of Board Certification confirms that the certificant continues to meet IBTHM standards and remains in good standing as a Board Certified professional. Active certification authorizes the continued use of the IBTHM Board Certified designation, professional title, and credential recognition.
 
Board Certification renewal includes:
• Continued recognition as an IBTHM Board Certified professional
• Authorization to use the IBTHM credential designation and professional title
• Listing in the IBTHM Official Board Certified Practitioner Directory
• Maintenance of active certification status and credential validity
• Recognition of continued professional standing and compliance with IBTHM standards
 
Certification must be renewed prior to expiration to avoid lapse in credential status. Individuals with expired certifications may be required to complete reinstatement requirements.
 
Renewal fees apply per certification level and must be submitted before the certification expiration date to maintain uninterrupted certification status.
