I do not think it is a good idea to mandate a jurusprudence exam every three years. The doctors have more than enough regulations placed on us to deal with already. I don;t think another test or hurdle to deal with is the answer. These regulations are becoming overly burdensome and are taking up so much of your time that you hardly have time to practice. Furthermore, the posting of the DEA license in your office for all the public to see is also a questionable requirement. I know that the board is interested in cutting down on narcotic abuse but this places the clinician at risk for having his or her DEA number stolen and used. This is like leaving your prescription pad in the treatment room for the patient to take. I will need to get Lifelock for my DEA number. I don't know who is proposing all these new regulations but we have to use common sense and make things less burdensome for the doctors not harder.
