Opposition to jurisprudence exam
 
I am opposed to a jurisprudence exam requiring all licensed dentists to pass for renewal.When I received my license in the late 90's we had a jurisprudence section on the dental board. Somewhere along the way, it was eliminated. Now it resurfaces again.As an alternative, I suggest administering the exam to new licensees. Grandfather in those who passed already. With regards to the group in the middle,possibly encourage a portion of their bi- annual CE requirement be associated with the content the board feels is currently lacking. Try not to reprimand the entire profession for a few "bad apples". Respectfully submitted.
