I too am opposed to the proposed jurisprudence exam requirements. We already have enough regulations on dentist in the Commonwealth without more being piled on without proven benefits to the citizen of the Commonwealth. How do we even know that an exam will produce the desired behavior? I believe it's better handled by the marketplace forces like that utilized by malpractice insurance carriers. Medical Protective allows it's member dentist to take CE and exam on ethics and jurisprudence in return for a 5% reduction in the cost of the policy. If y'all feel its needed, just require it as part of a CE requirement and give those who take it a reduced rate on licensure renewal. I feels it's within your scope to require new dentist to take the jurispurdence exam but I am opposed to any blanket requirement for all practicing dentists in the Commonwealth.
