IMG Friendly (detail)
The residency program at Temple University is designed with a focus on developing family physicians, and while the explicit mention of 'International Medical Graduates' (IMG) is absent from the text, the program does promote diversity and inclusion. This could imply a welcome attitude towards IMG applicants, especially in an urban setting where various backgrounds are encountered. Information on ECFMG certification or visa sponsorship is not indicated, leaving the IMG-friendliness somewhat unclear.
