What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Fair Access In Residency Act of 2025 or the FAIR Act of 2025. It requires hospitals that have approved medical residency training programs to submit specific information to the Secretary of Health and Human Services. This information involves the number of applicants and accepted candidates from both osteopathic and allopathic medical schools. Hospitals must also provide an affirmation regarding their acceptance policies and accepted examination scores. The Secretary of Health and Human Services is required to publish this submitted information on a public website.
