MEDICAL DOCTOR
$7,554,460 in itemized individual contributions sit under the FEC employer text MEDICAL DOCTOR, according to FEC.gov aggregates on LobbyVault. The cluster is 23,002 contributions from 1,377 donors. MEDICAL DOCTOR is a spelled-out clinical title in the employer box, not a NAICS physician-office total, not a hospital system PAC, and not AMA dues. MD, DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, and Self/Physician are sibling keys with their own totals.
Key figures
- MEDICAL DOCTOR as FEC employer text totals $7,554,460 from 1,377 donors.
- 23,002 contribution lines sit under that spelled-out title string.
- MD, DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, and Self/Physician are separate FEC keys.
- The label is self-reported form text, not a NAICS industry or hospital PAC total.
Two words that are not a hospital name
FEC employer fields accept free text. Some clinicians type a health system. Others type MEDICAL DOCTOR. LobbyVault groups the latter as an industry key. The $7,554,460 total is those itemized gifts. It is not Kaiser Permanente’s payroll, not a medical-school faculty export, and not every person who holds an M.D.
Donors who typed MD, M.D., DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, Self/Physician, or a hospital legal name sit in other rows. LobbyVault does not spell-check those variants into one clinician bucket.
Spelling is the whole difference between this page and MD. Filers who abbreviated the credential never enter the MEDICAL DOCTOR rollup on those abbreviated receipts. LobbyVault does not expand abbreviations.
1,377 donors across 23,002 lines
1,377 unique donors produced 23,002 MEDICAL DOCTOR contribution lines totaling $7,554,460. That is on the order of 17 itemized receipts per donor — lower line density than some payroll-heavy employer names in this batch, higher donor count than many partnership rows. The packet does not publish a mean gift or a specialty split.
Party share is not on the industry headline. Independent expenditures and any medical-association committee filings are outside the $7,554,460 unless an individual receipt itself carries this employer string. Unitemized gifts never appear.
The 1,377 unique donors can include people who also appear under a hospital name on other receipts. Those other receipts are not in the $7,554,460. Only lines grouped to MEDICAL DOCTOR are.

Questions
- How much have MEDICAL DOCTOR-listed donors given federally?
- LobbyVault attributes $7,554,460 to the MEDICAL DOCTOR employer string, from 23,002 contributions and 1,377 donors. These are itemized individual receipts, not a hospital PAC and not a NAICS physician-office total. Unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- Is this the same as MD or PHYSICIAN on FEC forms?
- No. MD, DOCTOR, PHYSICIAN, and Self/Physician are separate grouped strings. The $7,554,460 total is only receipts whose employer text grouped to MEDICAL DOCTOR. LobbyVault does not merge abbreviations into this row. Figures are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts are omitted.
- Does this include hospital-system employees who typed Kaiser or UCLA?
- No. Named employers such as KAISER PERMANENTE and UCLA are separate keys. A receipt counted here carries the grouped text MEDICAL DOCTOR. Clinicians who listed a campus or health system are in those other rows. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer string as indexed on LobbyVault.
- How many unique donors listed MEDICAL DOCTOR?
- The rollup counts 1,377 donors and 23,002 contribution lines. Repeat gifts raise the receipt count. This is not a census of licensed physicians. Figures are limited to the FEC string as indexed on LobbyVault; unitemized gifts and non-federal filings are omitted.
Industry labels come from FEC employer/occupation self-reports, not NAICS. Data from FEC.gov via LobbyVault.
