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.
