What psychiatrist-occupation donors give in federal races

High-repeat specialty title, a $146 mean

$8,024,472, 55,075 itemizations, and 1,348 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $146. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,953. Repeat giving is about 41 itemizations per donor record.

55,075 lines from 1,348 records is a high-repeat clinical-specialty stack. The $146 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical visit fee redirected to politics. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

1,348 donor records on 55,075 lines is the opposite of a thin pool: repeat giving of about 41 itemizations per record is among the highest patterns in this occupation extract. The packet has no inpatient-versus-outpatient split, no board-certification field, and no party flag, so $8,024,472 cannot be read as a psychiatry-workforce census.

PSYCHIATRIST is not a license file

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

This page cites only $8,024,472, 55,075 contributions, and 1,348 donors. PHYSICIAN, MEDICAL DOCTOR, and PSYCHOLOGIST 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

1,348 donor records used PSYCHIATRIST on at least one matching itemization. Address variants split records. A person who listed PSYCHIATRIST on some gifts and PHYSICIAN or MD on others will appear in both occupation totals for those lines.

Occupation is stored per transaction. LobbyVault does not infer party or practice setting from the specialty word. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code, so they never enter $8,024,472.

Committees receiving these itemizations are not named in the packet. The 55,075 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 $8,024,472 as net of refunds unless a later extract says so.

Industry pages group clinics, not this specialty

Industry pages group employers. A hospital psychiatrist and a private-practice psychiatrist share this occupation string if they typed PSYCHIATRIST. Adding $8,024,472 to an industry total double-counts.

Open the PSYCHIATRIST occupation page for rows. Use the occupations index to place the string next to other clinical titles.

PSYCHIATRIST dollars of $8,024,472 sit on 55,075 itemizations, a volume that makes the $146 mean easy to misread as a typical gift. Cite 1,348 donor records with the dollars so the high-repeat pattern is visible. Unitemized receipts never carry an occupation code and never enter this total.

Citation language

A usable sentence is: occupation equals PSYCHIATRIST, dollars equal $8,024,472, contributions equal 55,075, donors equal 1,348, sourced from FEC Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.

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

Reading PSYCHIATRIST as a specialty one-word key

PSYCHIATRIST in this extract is $8,024,472 on 55,075 itemizations from 1,348 donor records, or $8.0 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 PSYCHIATRY, MD, or PHYSICIAN may sit on other occupation pages. Only the exact PSYCHIATRIST key is in $8,024,472.

Arithmetic means on this key are about $146 per contribution and about $5,953 per donor record, with roughly 41 itemizations per donor record. Means are not medians. The packet has no inpatient-versus-outpatient split, no gift-size distribution, and no party field. 1,348 donor records on 55,075 lines is a high-repeat specialty pool, not a census of board-certified psychiatrists.

Industry pages should not be added to $8,024,472. Candidate and committee pages hold the recipient side. A public-record citation that stays inside the packet is: occupation equals PSYCHIATRIST, dollars equal $8,024,472, contributions equal 55,075, donors equal 1,348.

PSYCHIATRIST, PHYSICIAN, and MEDICAL DOCTOR can describe overlapping people in ordinary speech and remain separate FEC strings. This page is only PSYCHIATRIST: $8,024,472, 55,075 contributions, 1,348 donors. A homemade clinical cluster that adds those keys without naming each source total is a different unit than this occupation page.
