Restoring Rights of Medical Residents Act

Restoring Rights of Medical Residents Act

This bill repeals the antitrust exemption for graduate medical resident matching programs.

Currently, the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), a private, nonprofit organization, generally matches graduate medical students with residency positions. In 2002, a lawsuit alleged that the NRMP violated federal antitrust laws. The Pension Funding Equity Act of 2004 established the antitrust exemption for such programs and the lawsuit was subsequently dismissed.
