Hey Rashmi,

So if I have the CA letter but am going to a different state for residency, will the CA letter be still valid if i want to do fellowship in CA 3 years later? Do you know?


  #12

cali letter costs around 1200 dollars and it is not a one time headache, u need to renew it every year.


  #13
