HR 751 United States House · 118th Congress

FAIR Act

HR 751, the FAIR Act, requires hospitals running medical residency programs to report annual data on applicants and acceptances from both osteopathic (DO) and allopathic (MD) medical schools starting in 2024. Specifically, hospitals must submit the number of applicants and accepted candidates from each medical school type, confirm they accept both DO and MD applicants, and state that COMLEX and USMLE exam scores are equally accepted. The Health Secretary must then publish this data online for public transparency. The bill directly affects hospitals operating residency programs and aims to make their admissions processes more visible, without mandating specific acceptance rates or changing admission criteria.
