Mandatory jurisprudence examinations, whether open-book or not, will not serve to increase compliance with Board of Dentistry regulations.  There's been no evidence that this approach has succeeded in other states.  Doctors who are non-compliant, even if they profess ignorance, have failed their profession and their patients.  Should a doctor fail his or her test, what will be the sanctions?  We know that the Board elects now to enforce continuing education requirements only as a "secondary offense", much like the enforcement of seat belt laws.  Let's not add one more feel-good administrative burden to the vast majority of Virginia dentists who make it their professional responsibility to be in compliance with all laws and regulations.
