First, who do you think the four big schools are? Generally, people think its SGU, Ross, Saba, and AUC (supposedly, all clinicals are ACGME with AUC?, not positive though) in which case you should be ok if you research a little.
Rule 1. You must attend a California approved school or else you will NEVER be eligible for licensure or obtain residency or conduct clinicals in California.
Welcome to the Medical Board of California - International Medical Schools Disapproved by the State of California
unless you sneak in though the VA system (possibly & unlikely, i'm not sure on this and wouldn't put all my eggs into this basket)

Rule 2. Clinical rotations can be "blue book", in other words any core or elective can be done if the hospital is "green" for Family Practice. This is where the term "umbrella" is coined, since family practice encompasses a variety of things.

This is used by not-so-difficult states also (especially Illinois, leading to all schools using JPH in Chicago for ever rotation, hoping students obtain licensure under the "umbrella/blue book" rotations, since JPH is a ghetto but "green" FP hospital)
BUT (for california) RULE #1 HAS TO BE FOLLOWED FIRST FOR ALL CLASSWORK, TRANSFER INTO/OUT OF AN NON-APPROVED SCHOOL, DURING ANY TIME CAN NOT BE ALLOWED, unless you repeat the course or clinical at an approved institution.
