I have a question for the anesthesiologists out there who are doing pain. I am applying to take the pain boards for next September; However, I still have to take my oral boards in anesthesia in April of 2009. If you do not pass your oral boards (which hopefully wont' be an issue) does the ABA refund you the $450 application fee? On the ABA's website it says that the $450 is nonrefundable. It seems crazy to have to pay this kind of money before knowing if you passed your orals and having the possibility of losing the $450. Does anyone have any experience with this?
