I have asked this question before, but since no one answered me, I thought I would ask it here. Residents would know this...anyways...how much does malpractice insurance cost...for lets say neurology, neurosurgery, and internal medicine in lets say Connecticut (just average please). Thanks.
P.S. If there is a list online of average costs, that would be great.

A lot, a crapload and a lot in that order. And it will cost more in CT than it will in, say, South Dakota. Not sure why residents would be expected to know much about this, we don't pay our malpractice insurance. And most people in academic practice never see a malpractice insurance bill as it's picked up by the hospital/university.
