Claiming CE for Custom Workplace Skills in Dynamic Health

Custom Workplace Skills that are created by Nova Scotia Health (e.g., Administering Allergy Epicutaneous / Skin Prick Testing in Adults) do not get tracked automatically as CE credits in Dynamic Health. You can still use Custom Workplace Skills for CE credit (.1 per skill) by printing or saving the time stamped checklist and including it in your Practice Points submission each year you submit.
