Missing the point
 

 

Dr Robert MorrisonUnfortunately, the board has missed the point of jurisprudence knowledge and the will of the majority of licensed, law abiding dentists. We gave progressed beyond having the whole " class getting detention for a few talking in class". Having initial licencee's and those found inviolation of regulations taking a jurisprudence exam to prove their understanding and acceptance of Board regulations is logical and a reasoned approach to this issue. Punishing those of us who take pride in following and understanding our responsibilities will drive an uneccassary wedge between the Board and the Dentists they are supposed to represent. More story to keep those of us who pay a licensing fee to keep us informed with constructive dialogue between us and our Board representatives seems to be a better use of everyone's time and energy.
