About BorelliScopie

Dermoscopy education that belongs in primary care

We are building the structured foundation that closes the gap between clinical expectation and available training — free, open-access, and evidence-based.

Dermoscopy is not inherently more difficult than otoscopy or ophthalmoscopy. GPs learn to examine eardrums and fundi as a matter of course. No one suggests these skills are too complex for primary care.

That insight is why BorelliScopie exists. The question for primary care is not “what is the precise diagnosis?” It is “does this lesion need specialist review?”

That is a screening question, and it has a learnable answer. You do not need to become a dermatologist — you need a reliable method for identifying lesions that warrant closer attention.

That method is the Triage Amalgamated Dermoscopic Algorithm (TADA), and BorelliScopie is built around teaching it.

Clear boundaries

What we are — and what we are not

Being honest about scope is part of being trustworthy. Here is exactly what BorelliScopie offers and where its limits lie.

BorelliScopie is

Free educational content

Eight structured modules teaching screening-level dermoscopy, openly accessible to any clinician in the world.

Evidence-based methodology

Centred on the published TADA algorithm, taught through the ORAR pedagogical framework (Observe, Recognise, Apply, Reflect).

Screening-level training

Focused on the primary care question: does this lesion need further evaluation? Not comprehensive diagnostic expertise.

Clinician-reviewed content

Developed and reviewed by individuals with relevant clinical and educational expertise. Version-controlled with documented update cycles.

BorelliScopie is not

A medical device

BorelliScopie does not analyse images, suggest diagnoses, or provide clinical decision support of any kind.

A diagnostic tool

The TADA simulator teaches algorithm logic through educational scenarios. It does not assess real lesions or make recommendations.

A certification programme

We do not issue qualifications or CPD credits. For formal accreditation, explore programmes offered by dermatology societies in your region.

Comprehensive dermoscopy training

We teach screening fundamentals. Clinicians seeking advanced diagnostic skills should pursue specialist courses.
