Do Fellowships Typically Pay for your License?

[NS3964]

I was wondering if fellowship programs are expected to pay for your state license and/or DEA number? I'm looking at almost $1,500 for both. Not very friendly on a resident's salary, especially when you consider already having to pay for ERAS, interviews, moving etc.

License probably not, DEA probably. You should ask the PC what the policy is.

Your training license in fellowship or full medical license (if you wanted to moonlight or w/e)? I didn't pay anything for training license. I would have had to pay for full license. You should be provided a DEA number for training.

It seems that they require a full license?

They’re having us go through the state website to get it set up.

My program did not require that. It would be nice for a program to pay for the license if it requires it.

Training and DEA yes. Full license no. It was a drop in the bucket to be able to moonlight, though.

My program covered medical license (they requires a full license which is nice) and DEAz
