How many state licenses to keep?

Is it worth it to maintain the state you trained in (both for residency and let's say fellowship is in a different state) if you don't plan ever going back to either state?

Probably not.

Many states have an inactive or volunteer status that is quite inexpensive. Otherwise, you can voluntarily cancel the license.

Just be careful letting it lapse/expire, because that may lead to issues if you ever do want to return.
