Yes, I missed the medical schools only label. However, I still think it's true:
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 http://www.aamc.org/data/facultyroster/reports.htm)
