Opposed to jurisprudence exam
 

I am opposed to a regulation exam every 3 years. What is the direct evidence that this will reduce or alleviate problems? Second, what would be the method by which this exam is administered and what would be the burden of payment and time out of treatment to take the exam? Currently it is on our honor that with renewal of license we have reviewed and understand the applicable regulation. I would suggest that versus required examinations, if the Board sees a trend in complaints or infractions to contact all dentists with the specific trend and directions of where we can review within the code and measures we can take to ensure compliance.
