Questions & answers
How Bianchini Academy's education and Prevention Center should — and should not — be used.
Does Bianchini Academy provide medical diagnosis or treatment?
No. Bianchini Academy is an educational institution. Our courses and the Skin Cancer Prevention Center provide professional education and public-health information only. They do not provide medical diagnosis, treatment, or individualized screening advice, and they do not establish a clinician–patient relationship. Any new, changing, bleeding, or non-healing skin lesion should be evaluated by a qualified health professional.
Are the courses accredited for continuing-education credit?
No. Courses are delivered online/remotely and lead to a certificate of completion that states the estimated instructional hours. This certificate is not an accredited continuing-education credit. No ANCC, AMA, ACCME, Florida Board of Nursing or other state-board credit is offered or implied. Whether any activity counts toward a specific requirement is determined solely by your own licensing body.
Who teaches the courses?
Courses are developed and taught by Leonardo Bianchini, MD (Brazil), PhD in Biomedical Gerontology (PUCRS), Registered Nurse, serving as Founder & Academic Director. His clinical practice is conducted exclusively in Brazil.
Are courses in person or online?
All courses are delivered fully online/remotely. There is no in-person or hands-on component, and no clinical-skills certification is issued.
What does the educational risk tool do?
The educational risk tool only categorizes self-reported factors for learning purposes. It does not estimate clinical probability, provide a diagnosis, or determine an individual need for screening. It is not a substitute for evaluation by a qualified health professional.
How is completion assessed?
Each course includes an online post-assessment of at least 10 multiple-choice questions with a passing score of 70%. Participants who do not reach 70% may retake the assessment. A certificate of completion is issued afterward.
Where do the statistics on this site come from?
Numerical claims are cited directly to primary public sources — NCI SEER, the CDC, the American Cancer Society, the Florida Department of Health, and IARC/WHO. We distinguish observed data, projected estimates, and institutional guidance, and we note where national registries do not routinely track basal and squamous cell carcinomas.
