ARVO and other professional organization fees

[itchypants73]

Hi,

How common is it for medical students to pay their own member registration fee and also the conference registration fee when submitting abstracts to meetings like ARVO, AAO, NANOS etc. ? Do departments ever cover the cost of one or both dues?

I'm wondering because to submit an ARVO abstract, I'd have to pay something like $110 (membership )+ $20 (conference registration)

Thanks!

My PI used to cover all that for us, but it probably depends on your university/research team and how much money they have ...
