International Medical Graduate Fees

The ABR has an exam fee model. Candidates are charged an application fee, a Qualifying (Core) Exam fee, and a Certifying Exam fee. If a candidate does not fully pass the Qualifying (Core) Exam or the Certifying Exams on the first administration, a one-time re-exam fee will apply to retake that specific exam. Please note that all fees are subject to change.
