What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a big vs. small program. For example, usually GS (and IM- doesn't necessarily have to be surgery) has a lot of people, like 20 or so. More specialized areas, like orthopedic surgery or neurosurgery have a small amount of slots, like 5. What are the advantages of being big vs. small? Which one is better?
 
D'oh! I put it in the wrong forum. You can close this one, I will make a second thread.
