HSS ProSkills™ Certificate

Professional development for Pennsylvania dental teams

Beyond continuing education, HSS ProSkills™ gives Pennsylvania offices a way to level up year-round. These non-CE courses focus on the human side of dentistry — leadership, communication, and workflow — so your whole Pennsylvania team grows together, complete with a shareable Certificate of Completion.

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 Pennsylvania continuing education.
