What the job costs
Why this matters. Registration and a college fee are due even in a year the salary feels tight. This page adds the published fees it has read. An indemnity premium is a separate quote and is not in the total.
Registration and the college, each year, in training and as a consultant. Exams are a bad year, not every year. Private indemnity is not priced here.
One Medical Board fee covers general and specialist registration. A dash means the college dollar was not on the public page.
