I am opposed to the mandatory jurisprudence exam
 

Passing a regulation to mandate every dentist to take a jursiprudence examination every three years is not the sensible solution to the problem. If the BOD wants to reprimand the minority of dentist who are not able to comply or abide with the regulations, then reprimand them and not the rest of us. Have them take the jurisprudence examination every three years as part of their penalty. I strongly support the idea of resolving the problem of dentist complying with regulations by requiring initial licensees to pass a jurisprudence exam and then the Virginia BOD providing communication about various regulations on a timely manner.
