HSS ProSkills™ Certificate

Sharpen the skills CE doesn't cover in Ohio

State CE requirements focus on clinical knowledge — but soft skills win patients. HSS ProSkills™ helps Ohio dental professionals master communication, scheduling, and team dynamics through practical, self-paced courses, each with a Certificate of Completion to show for it.

Plus, earn HSS ProSkills™ Rewards: every course you complete — CE or professional development — banks ProSkills points toward free courses, digital gift cards, and more. Points never expire.

ProSkills™ courses are professional development, not CE credit — a complement to your Ohio continuing education.
