Does OPTI West accept International Medical Graduates (IMGs)?

Does OPTI West sponsor J-1 or H-1B visas?

What USMLE Step 2 CK score does OPTI West require?
OPTI West does not report a minimum USMLE Step 2 CK score, so MatchPath publishes no cutoff for this program — most programs do not publish one. Use its IMG percentage and the specialty's overall match data to gauge fit instead; both are on this page. All of it is free to view, with no account needed.
What is the resident salary at OPTI West?
OPTI West has not reported a PGY-1 salary to FREIDA, so this page shows it as not reported. Salary is set by the sponsoring institution and rises each training year through completion; the program or its GME office can confirm the current figure.
