Making skin assessments more accessible across BC
CheckMark helps patients access dermatologist-reviewed skin assessments through a simple referral-based photo appointment. Our goal is to make dermatology guidance faster, clearer, and easier to access for patients, providers, and community clinics.
Skin cancer is one of the most common and most treatable cancers, but only if caught early. In BC, the average wait for a dermatology appointment is 6 to 12 months. By the time patients see a specialist, early-stage lesions can become serious.
CheckMark is an MSP-funded teledermoscopy service that brings specialist skin cancer triage into community pharmacies. Your team handles the visit. We handle everything else.

Built by a dermatologist who saw the wait firsthand.
CheckMark was built by Dr. Sabrina Nurmohamed — a practicing BC dermatologist who watched patients wait months for assessments that take minutes.
Dr. Sabrina Nurmohamed
MD FRCPC · Co-Founder, CheckMark
Dr. Nurmohamed’s clinical experience helped shape CheckMark’s referral-based photo assessment pathway. Developed through Spectrum Dermatology with support from the Shared Care Committee of Doctors of BC, CheckMark was created to bring dermatologist-reviewed skin assessments into trusted community settings — helping patients receive clearer next steps sooner.
“I’ve seen too many patients wait months for diagnostic clarity about a concerning skin lesion. Dermatologists have a vital role in making that diagnosis, and they should be involved earlier in the journey. CheckMark was built to make that possible.”
