Jurisprudence Exam
 

I am opposed to the proposal of having dentist take a jurisprudence exam every 3 years. Basically, I feel as though the Board is creating a solution to a problem that does not exist. The few dentists that are having issues should be dealt with directly as is the charge of the Board. The overwhelming majority of dentists who are having no problems should not be required to take an exam. It is an unnecessary burden. Please consider the public comments when deciding this policy. Thank you.                            Dr George A Jacobs
