The University of Michigan's Medical School is growing ever larger these days, with 184 new faculty members since May.

That rounds out the medical school's staff to 2,254 employees, its highest point ever. Compare that with a headcount of 1,818 in 2005. Although the bulk of staffing is done during the summer time, up to 100 new positions are expected to be created by the end of the year.

"It's very satisfying that despite the economic downturn the University of Michigan has continued to grow," says Dr. Margaret Gyetko, associate dean for faculty affairs and a professor of internal medicine at the U-M Medical School.

The medical school has been consistently growing over the years, including a net gain of 103 new positions in the 2010 fiscal year. The university adds an average of about 100-150 new physicians and scientists each year.
