Oppose mandatory jurisprudence exam
 

I strongly oppose implementing mandatory jurisprudence examinations for licensure. The overwhelming majority of practitioners comply with the regulations as written. Clear, concise, easy to understand communication from the Board of Dentistry, on a regular basis, regarding regulatory changes would be more beneficial and less burdensome. It would allow practitioners to fully understand what is required of them to be in compliance. I suspect it would be less of a burden on the BOD to send electronic updates on a regular basis than to administer an examination at varying intervals based on renewal dates. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
