FAIR Act

Bill 119 HR 2314, also known as the "Medical Residency Transparency Act," aims to amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to require hospitals with approved medical residency training programs to provide specific information to the Secretary of Health and Human Services regarding osteopathic and allopathic candidates for these programs.

The bill seeks to increase transparency in the medical residency selection process by requiring hospitals to submit information about both osteopathic and allopathic candidates. This information will help the Secretary of Health and Human Services better understand the demographics and qualifications of candidates applying for medical residency programs.

By requiring hospitals to submit this information, the bill aims to ensure that the selection process for medical residency programs is fair and equitable for all candidates, regardless of their background or training. This increased transparency will also help identify any potential disparities or biases in the selection process and allow for targeted interventions to address them. Overall, the Medical Residency Transparency Act aims to improve the quality and diversity of medical residency programs by ensuring that all candidates are given a fair opportunity to pursue their medical training.
