The FAIR Act requires hospitals with approved medical residency programs to report data on osteopathic and allopathic applicants.
The FAIR Act, or Fair Access In Residency Act, amends title XVIII of the Social Security Act to mandate hospitals with approved medical residency training programs to submit specific information to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This includes the number of applicants from osteopathic and allopathic medical schools, the number accepted, and an affirmation that the hospital considers applicants from both types of schools. The bill aims to encourage more equitable treatment of osteopathic and allopathic candidates in the residency application and review process.
