I don't know anything about the PCOM hospitals. But I can comment on the others.

Drexel has about 50% IMG. Albert Einstein has about 50-60% IMG. Jefferson and Temple have maybe 1-2 IMGs/DOs per categorical class.

I think this was discussed before, but Penn is top dog in Philly for IM.
Jefferson and Temple are next.
Drexel and Albert Einstein are after that.

Temple and AE are both on Broad Street, but in North Philly. Shady area of town. Hahnemann Hospital for Drexel is also on Broad Street but in a much better area of town; plus, it's near Chinatown! I believe Jefferson is about 4-5 miles away from Temple.
