Fair Access to Medical Residencies Act
This new law aims to ensure more equitable treatment for candidates from different types of medical schools (osteopathic and allopathic) in the residency application process. Hospitals will be required to submit data on the number of applicants and accepted students, and affirm equal acceptance of exams. This will provide citizens with greater transparency in access to medical training.
Key points
Hospitals operating residency programs must report the number of osteopathic and allopathic medical school applicants and accepted students.
Hospitals must affirm they accept applicants from both types of medical schools and equally accept COMLEX-USA and USMLE exams.
This information will be publicly available, increasing transparency in medical residency admissions.
