Did they forget that residents with no freaking money are the ones who sign up for it?

Hemorrhaging cash so fast it's unbelievable

But how can they afford test students if they don't charge them $1400?

Seriously though, before I can become an attending I have to pay this:

ABIM Board Exam: $1400
MKSAP 17 Study Materials: $500
State License: $400
DEA License: $200

It's all just a part of that debt you'll be paying back half your life.

I think the CE exam/Comlex PE exam (the one with fake patients) is even more of a waste of money.

I can't believe they still even make COMLEX. Should just switch to USMLE.

your industry is so full of bullshit costs to the new members it's ridiculous

how much of the cost of a procedure does an attending actually gain, if non-private practice?

You have no idea.

I actually took all 4 of them. That's 1.2K I am never getting back ever again.

And the fact that COMLEX will not get you a competitive specialty/program screwed my class over. 50% of my class didn't take it gave up on acgme and matched through the DO match and they were all crappy name programs.
