Talking Point 2/2
Please discuss any of the following issues:
• How have you encountered bias in the residency selection process because of your degree?
• How are DOs treated differently than MDs in the residency selection process?
• Why is the FAIR Act important to you and the patients you serve?
• How would equal acceptance of the DO degree and COMLEX influence your choice of specialty and residency?
Congress needs to hear from members of the osteopathic community about why the Fair Access in Residency (FAIR) Act (H.R. 751) is needed to ensure DOs are treated fairly in the Match!
