Most FM programs seem to pay for hotels, roughly 2/3 of the peds programs I interviewed at did, and my surgery friends had to pay for accommodations out of pocket basically every time. It's hugely specialty-dependent, and partially location dependent.
It's interesting that it's very "field dependent" in that I doubt the peds, FM or psych programs have more interviewing money in their departments than the IM or surgery programs. Wonder if it's more of a culture rather than money thing...

I think it reflects whether you're in a buyers or sellers market, so to speak.
Programs in psych and FM probably have to do more to actively try and recruit applicants, especially desirable applicants, than a lot of other fields. That's also why you more commonly hear of paying for accommodations in rural programs.
