Widest specialty pool in this band, fewer lines per name

$15,862,739 is the occupation-level dollar total. 29,969 is the itemization count. 6,711 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $529. Mean dollars per donor record are about $2,364. Repeat giving is about 4 itemizations per donor record.

6,711 donor records is a wide pool relative to SURGEON and other clinical keys with similar headline dollars. About 4 itemizations per donor record is a lower repeat rate than high-volume workplace titles. The per-line mean of about $529 is larger than generic SURGEON in this harvest.

These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet does not include a sports-medicine split, a hospital-versus-group cut, or a gift-size distribution.

ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON is not SURGEON

SURGEON, PHYSICIAN, MD, and the American spelling orthopedic surgeon — if stored as a separate key — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to ORTHOPAEDIC SURGEON. This page cites only $15,862,739, 29,969 contributions, and 6,711 donors.

The FEC record does not verify board certification. The British spelling orthopaedic is the harvested string; donors who typed orthopedic may live in another bucket. Retired specialists and people using the title loosely can all appear.
