As a Marine, Naval Officer and medical student, Alberto Ramon Velasco, OMS II at the Burrell College of Osteopathic Medicine, has seen the excellence of osteopathic care firsthand, especially for those serving overseas. He’s also seen and experienced the limitations and stigma that osteopathic students face when matching into residency programs. This is why he supports the Fair Access In Residency (FAIR) Act, which aims to give DO and MD students fair consideration for all residency spots that receive government funding.
