Overall Comments: Great place for IMG's I guess. I am an offshore graduate and when I went there, I was able to right away find a few IMG's. The hospital itself is of course close to LA area but still not exactly "metropolitan." Considering it is in CA and is probably one of the few institutions in the west coast that are nice to IMG's, I would certainly rank them high.
