oppose jurisprudence
 

I oppose the jurisprudence exam for ALREADY  licensed professionals. Once licensed, no other health care professionals have to retake "law" exams. After years of practice, this should not dictate if a dental professional is able to keep their license. I agree that we need to be educated about the changes in the laws even though our laws don't change much or often. However, a required CE would be a better solution. It could be offered by the Board as an online or classroom CE in order to reach everyone.
