See what you’ve been missing
Most clinicians receive no formal dermoscopy training — yet they’re increasingly expected to pick up a dermatoscope. BorelliScopie takes you from first look through the lens to confident referral decisions.
The gap between expectation and training
Dermoscopy improves diagnostic accuracy for skin cancer — but where do you learn? Medical school rarely covers it. Postgraduate courses can be expensive, hard to access, or pitched at the wrong level. And using a dermatoscope without training risks missed features, false reassurance, and delayed referrals.
BorelliScopie won’t make you a dermatologist. It builds the foundation: systematic technique, pattern recognition, and a clear method for deciding when to refer.
After completing BorelliScopie, you’ll be able to:
- Examine a lesion systematically through a dermatoscope
- Recognise the three most common benign lesions — and the features that should concern you
- Apply TADA, a published screening algorithm, to decide whether a lesion needs referral
- Integrate clinical history with dermoscopic findings for safer decisions
The TADA algorithm
BorelliScopie centres on TADA (Triage Amalgamated Dermoscopic Algorithm) — a published screening method designed for clinicians who aren’t dermatologists. Research shows it achieves high sensitivity for melanoma and can be taught rapidly to non-experts.
The clinical question it answers isn’t “what is this?” — it’s “does this need referral?” Three steps. One clear decision. You’ll learn it in Module 7 and practise it in the simulator.
Does this look unequivocally like a common benign lesion?
Is the pattern organised and symmetric, or chaotic and asymmetric?
Are any high-risk features present — starburst, blue-black colour, shiny white structures, or others?
Learning that respects your time
Not a five-minute overview — a structured programme that builds genuine competency. But designed to fit around the reality of clinical life.
Built for busy clinicians
Modules take 15–40 minutes. Study between patients, on a commute, or during a lunch break. Pick up exactly where you left off.
Mobile and desktop
The full experience works on your phone, tablet, or computer. No app to install — just open your browser.
Low-stakes learning
Every quiz gives explanatory feedback — right or wrong. No pass marks, no time pressure. Retake anything, as many times as you like.
Free and open access
All content is freely available. Create an account to track your progress, or just dive in — no paywall, no trial period.
BorelliScopie teaches screening-level fundamentals — not diagnosis. It does not replace clinical judgement or confer certification. For advanced diagnostic skills, pursue specialist training. Always follow your local guidelines and referral pathways.
