However, I still think it's true:</p> <p>Take a look at slide #33 in Paula Stephan's presentation. For biomedical PhDs, most of the growth in academic positions from 1999-2003 was in medical schools, not in non-medical schools. From eyeballing the graph, it looks like maybe 4,000 new med school positions and maybe 1,000 new non med school positions. Compare that to the ~9,000 new MDs in clinical programs over the same time period (the raw data for #45 in the FASEB presentation is available at <a href='http://www.aamc.org/data/facultyroster/reports.htm'>http://www.aamc.org/data/facultyroster/reports.htm</a>)</p> JS tag:blog.phds.org,2007-08-22:784:786 2007-08-23T16:35:12Z 2007-08-23T16:35:12Z <p><em>Almost all the new positions created during the NIH doubling period were MDs in clinical departments</em></p> <p>Which slide are you getting that from? #45? If so, that seems to be med schools only, not universities, unless I'm misunderstanding.</p>
