No. In fact, that is the absolute worst kind of place to train. You need volume to learn. It's only 3 years.

No you want a busy place where there is a lot of admissions, lots of different pathology, lots of different things...once you are out on the real world there are no caps and potentially you are it...no safety net.
You want a place with graduated autonomy but still a place that is busy.

Don’t be lazy. High patient volume and high acuity are good for your learning even though they’re detrimental to present QOL. It’s a brief season.

This sounds like a recipe for boredom ROFL. What's the point of residency if you aren't training? And furthermore, it's not the primary role of the hospital to make residents feel good. It's to make sure patients are taken care of and that they are taken care of well. And as a resident, you have to be a part of that.
 
graduated autonomy; supportive teaching attending
good case varieties, high acuity, and strong specialist teaching.
strong procedural training.
also a good fit with the co-residents and the program leadership (most important)
 
Absolutely not. You want not only volume but variety. You want to see and do as much as possible. I tell the youngsters continuously not to huff and puff at what they would consider junk consult. Those "junk" consults will one day be your bread and butter and you need to learn how to deal with them effectively, like post-op care, etc.

But a GREAT cafeteria and liberal food program is an awesome plus too.
