The Doctor employer/occupation grouping records $2,158,153 in itemized individual contributions for the 2014 FEC cycle. Two thousand three hundred eighty-two contributions from 776 donors make up that midterm cell. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $111,741,528, so 2014 is 1.9% of an unusually large occupation roll. Doctor is a job label on a receipt, not an AMA census and not a hospital PAC.

A small midterm share of a $111.7 million label
One hundred eleven million seven hundred forty-one thousand five hundred twenty-eight dollars is the Doctor grouping across all cycles—the largest industry total in this batch. The 2014 cell is only $2,158,153, or 1.9%. That share is a table ratio. It does not mean physicians sat out the midterm; it means this particular string’s itemized individual money is spread across many years, with 2014 a thin slice.
Seven hundred seventy-six donors and 2,382 lines average about 3.1 receipts per donor. Average line size is about $906. Average per donor is about $2,781. Those modest averages match a broad occupation pattern, not a two-person mega-gift stack.
A $111,741,528 occupation roll makes any single midterm look small. Doctor × 2014 is $2,158,153 on 2,382 lines from 776 donors, which is 1.9% of that roll. About $906 per contribution is a modest itemized average. Seven hundred seventy-six keys is still a broad occupation pattern, not a two-person stack. Physician, hospital, and Dentist strings are other keys. AMA PAC disbursements are committee reports. Licenses are unverified. The 1.9% share locates 2014 inside a very large label without claiming physicians sat out the midterm.
Physician, MD, and hospital names are other keys
People who listed a hospital, a group practice, or “physician” as a different spelling may sit in other industry rows. This cell is the grouped Doctor word in 2014. Combining it with Dentist or with named health systems would invent a health-care sector total the FEC field does not support.
FEC.gov does not verify medical licenses. 776 is a donor-key count, not a count of practicing physicians.

Questions
- How much did Doctor-tagged donors give in 2014?
- The join records $2,158,153 in itemized individual contributions for Doctor in 2014, from 2,382 contributions and 776 donors. The grouping’s all-cycle total is $111,741,528.
- Why is 2014 only 1.9% of this grouping?
- Because $2,158,153 ÷ $111,741,528 = 1.9%. Other cycles hold most of the Doctor string’s recorded individual money. This packet does not list those other years’ amounts.
- Is this the AMA PAC?
- No. The $2,158,153 cell is individual receipts with a Doctor grouping. Committee disbursements are a different FEC schedule.
- Does this include dentists or hospital employees?
- Dentist is a different key. Hospital legal names are other keys. This page is only Doctor × 2014 as grouped.
