The Association of American Medical Colleges' faculty profiles were analyzed for 117 U.S. medical schools for the years 1968/1969 and 1978/1979. The growth of behavioral science faculty more than matched that of all medical school faculty (i.e. 78 vs 65%) in full-time tenure-track positions over this 10-year period. Most behavioral science medical school faculty are psychologists. Although still small in numbers, faculty from other disciplines such as anthropology and sociology have gained increasing acceptance, and these 117 medical schools now employ at least 20 full-time economists and 13 who have earned degrees in political science. The growth of behavioral science faculty has been primarily in clinical departments, and those who are associated with independent departments of behavioral science remained virtually static (87 vs 88) over this 10 year period.
对美国医学院协会1968/1969年和1978/1979年117所美国医学院的教师资料进行了分析。在这10年期间，行为科学教师的增长超过了所有医学院教师（即78%对65%）在全职终身教职岗位上的增长。大多数医学院行为科学教师是心理学家。虽然来自人类学和社会学等其他学科的教师数量仍然较少，但已越来越被接受，这117所医学院现在至少聘用了20名全职经济学家和13名拥有政治学学位的教师。行为科学教师的增长主要集中在临床科室，而与独立行为科学系相关的教师在这10年期间几乎没有变化（87名对88名）。
