What medical-doctor donors give in federal races

Spelled-out clinical title, a $324 mean

$6,923,128, 21,380 itemizations, and 1,857 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $324. Mean dollars per donor record are about $3,728. Repeat giving is about 12 itemizations per donor record.

21,380 lines from 1,857 records is a mid-volume clinical-title stack. The $324 per-line mean sits above PSYCHIATRIST on a per-itemization basis in this extract and below many ownership titles. The packet has no specialty field and no median gift.

1,857 donor records on 21,380 lines is a mid-volume clinical pool: about 12 itemizations per record. The $324 per-line mean sits above PSYCHIATRIST’s $146 and near CONSULTING. Mean dollars per donor record of about $3,728 are lower than many officer titles. The packet has no specialty field and no party flag, so $6,923,128 cannot be read as a licensed-physician census.

MEDICAL DOCTOR is not PHYSICIAN and not MD

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a medical license. Residents, retirees, and people using a related clinical title can sit on other keys. Best-efforts rules do not force a medical taxonomy.

This page cites only $6,923,128, 21,380 contributions, and 1,857 donors. PHYSICIAN, MD, and PSYCHIATRIST remain other keys unless the bulk extract merged them. Combining those strings without naming each source total changes the unit from one FEC occupation to a homemade cluster.

Donor records and dual clinical titles

1,857 donor records used MEDICAL DOCTOR on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed MEDICAL DOCTOR on some gifts and PHYSICIAN on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or specialty from the two-word phrase. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $6,923,128.

Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 21,380 lines are occupation-side totals only. Refunds, redesignations, and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Do not treat $6,923,128 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.

Industry pages group clinics, not this phrase

Industry pages group employer-side categories. A hospitalist and a clinic owner share this occupation string if they typed MEDICAL DOCTOR. Adding $6,923,128 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the MEDICAL DOCTOR occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the spelled-out phrase next to PHYSICIAN and PSYCHIATRIST.

MEDICAL DOCTOR dollars of $6,923,128 sit on 21,380 itemizations from 1,857 donor records. The spelled-out phrase is stored separately from PHYSICIAN and MD. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code and never enter this total.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals MEDICAL DOCTOR, dollars equal $6,923,128, contributions equal 21,380, donors equal 1,857, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

Quote the three facts together so the mid-range mean is visible next to the headline dollars. Refunds and memo entries follow FEC presentation in the underlying schedules.

Reading MEDICAL DOCTOR as a spelled-out clinical key

MEDICAL DOCTOR in this extract is $6,923,128 on 21,380 itemizations from 1,857 donor records, or $6.9 million in compact millions. Those dollars are itemized activity on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov bulk data. People who type PHYSICIAN, MD, or DOCTOR may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact MEDICAL DOCTOR key is in $6,923,128.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $324 per contribution and about $3,728 per donor record, with roughly 12 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution and no party split. 1,857 donor records on 21,380 lines is a mid-volume spelled-out clinical pool, not a census of licensed physicians.

Industry pages should not be added to $6,923,128. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals MEDICAL DOCTOR, dollars equal $6,923,128, contributions equal 21,380, donors equal 1,857.

MEDICAL DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, MD, and PSYCHIATRIST can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings. This page is only MEDICAL DOCTOR: $6,923,128, 21,380 contributions, 1,857 donors. A homemade clinical cluster that adds PHYSICIAN without naming each source total is a different unit than this occupation page.
