opposed to jurisprudence Q3 years
 

Dear BOD,

I am opposed to an exam every 3 years for the jurisprudence.  If the goal of this is to insure all dentists know the regulations, why doesn't the Board send out the regualations yearly to all dentists and ask that each dentist review the laws and regs.  This is much more cost-effective and less hassel for all involved.  If a dentist has disciplinary action against him/her, then this dentsit should be required to submit to a test yearly for a specified period.  This is a much more sensible legislation. 

thanks,

Robert Y. Cox, DDS
