Medical registration fees need to be reduced because of the inequity of doctors on extended parental leave or working part-time paying the same as high-earning surgeons, the AMA says. 

The flat rate where all doctors pay around $1000 a year is not only unfair but contributes to a loss of talent from the medical workforce, Dr Jill Tomlinson argues.
