As others before me have so eloquently stated; I do not believe that requiring us to take a written  jurisprudence exam for licence renewel is necesary to protect the public from a  "preceived  inability"  for us to read and comprehend the Dental Practice Act.  In our public schools, SOL and multilple other standardized  tests grow burdensome while not leading  to  desired academic  outcomes. Let's not duplicate this pattern.  The BOD better serves the public by sending us  updates to rule changes or by informing us of particular issues that the Board feels are noteworthy.
