There are many unintended cosequences for this written exam.  The BOD needs a consistant platform to communiate the expecations, changes and regulations by updating the dental community in writing or in a friendly well oraganized meeting annually.  Having an open meeting to inform all dentists of the changes and regluations would be more efficient and reliable.  Is this exam going to truly help the few dentists who really need more guideance?  As a profession we need to work together to make everyone understand any changes and update all of us on regulations in a positive way.  The time and money needed to make this jurisprudence exam a success will make this an unsuccessful way to communicate to dentists.  A community approach will help the community comply in a more predictable manner.
