International Medical Graduates Fees

Last verified on June 9, 2021

Structured Mentorship Certification in Medical Physics

The ABR has an exam fee model. Candidates are charged an application fee, a Qualifying Exam fee, and a Certifying Exam fee. If a candidate does not fully pass the Qualifying Exam or Certifying Exam on the first administration, a one-time re-exam fee will apply to retake that specific exam. Please note that fees are subject to change. As of a Board decision in 2013, the fees for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) have been increased to cover the cost of maintaining the program.
Fees must be paid within myABR.
