Key figures
- PATHOLOGIST itemizations sum to $5,296,631 ($5.3M) from 16,205 contributions and 1,610 donors.
- Mean amounts are about $327 per contribution and about $3,290 per donor record.
- Generic physician strings are excluded from this sum.
- Occupation is self-reported on FEC Form 3/3X, not a verified specialty roster.
A wide specialty pool under $5.3M
$5,296,631 is the occupation-level dollar total. 16,205 is the itemization count. 1,610 is the donor-record count. Dividing dollars by lines yields about $327 per contribution. Dividing by donors yields about $3,290 per donor record. The repeat rate is about 10 itemizations per donor record.
1,610 donor records is a wide specialty pool: more people than many surgical strings with similar dollars, and more donor records than contribution-heavy assistant titles in this slice. Ten itemizations per donor record is a moderate repeat rate. Mean dollars per donor record sit toward the modest side among physician-title strings.
Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The packet has no gift-size distribution, no anatomic-versus-clinical split, and no party series. This guide cites only the three harvested facts and the trivial ratios computed from them.
Pathologist is not physician and not a board list
PHYSICIAN, MD, and LABORATORY DIRECTOR are neighboring occupation pages with their own facts. This page covers PATHOLOGIST only: $5,296,631, 16,205 contributions, and 1,610 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined medical total the packet does not contain.
FEC Form 3 and Form 3X collect occupation as free text on itemized Schedule A. FEC.gov publishes what committees reported. There is no drop-down of specialties and no ABP board check. LobbyVault groups rows whose occupation field equals PATHOLOGIST after indexing. FORENSIC PATHOLOGIST and DERMATOPATHOLOGIST remain other keys unless the extract normalized them here.

The total is an exact-string occupation filter. Occupation is self-reported free text on FEC Form 3 and Form 3X schedules. Unitemized receipts never enter this occupation total.
- Are physicians included in the pathologist total?
- No. PHYSICIAN is a separate occupation string. This page covers PATHOLOGIST only: $5,296,631, 16,205 contributions, and 1,610 donors. Mixing them would invent a combined medical total the packet does not contain. The occupation field is donor-typed on Form 3 and Form 3X. LobbyVault indexes exact strings from FEC.gov bulk data.
- Does the FEC confirm pathology board credentials?
- No. Occupation is self-reported. A specialty word on Schedule A is not a credential check. Treat the 1,610 donor records as a count of matching text, not a board roster. The indexed sum remains $5,296,631. Cite the three packet facts with the exact occupation string. Source: FEC.gov Form 3/3X itemizations indexed on LobbyVault.
