IMG Friendly (detail)
The PIH Health Family Medicine Residency Program in Whittier does not explicitly mention International Medical Graduates (IMGs) or provide an IMG acceptance rate in the observed text sections. An assumption can be made based on the information provided and the typical inclusivity of residency programs; it can be considered IMG-friendly if it encourages diverse applications. However, the lack of direct statements means that specific visa sponsorship details, current IMG residents, or ECFMG certification acceptance are not verifiably included in the text.
