Hi all,
I’m interested in the IM programs at Pacific Long Beach (LA, CA). Can someone give me their perspective on them? Especially in terms of how they are compared to others, locally such as Arrowhead, Loma Linda and USC? How competitive are they, compared to IM programs nationally, are they considered top tier or bottom?
Are they more oriented towards producing specialists (people interested in fellowships) or hospitalists/internists/primary care?
Average board score for these programs for Step 1 and 2? Any cut-offs?
Cush or intense?
Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

I've heard from a couple of people that their family residents aren't very happy (for whatever various reasons), so I wanted to inquire about their IM residency.

thank you!!! :)
