Key figures

  • PSYCHIATRIST occupation itemizations sum to $8,024,472 from 55,075 contributions and 1,348 donors.
  • Mean amounts are about $146 per contribution and about $5,953 per donor record.
  • The specialty word is donor-typed Form 3/3X text, not a verified medical-license roster.
  • Industry pages are a separate employer-side cut and should not be added to this total.

High-repeat specialty title, a $146 mean

$8,024,472, 55,075 itemizations, and 1,348 donor records are the occupation-level facts. Mean contribution size is about $146. Mean dollars per donor record are about $5,953. Repeat giving is about 41 itemizations per donor record.

55,075 lines from 1,348 records is a high-repeat clinical-specialty stack. The $146 per-line mean is arithmetic on that volume, not a typical visit fee redirected to politics. A few large itemizations can lift the average while most lines remain smaller.

1,348 donor records on 55,075 lines is the opposite of a thin pool: repeat giving of about 41 itemizations per record is among the highest patterns in this occupation extract. The packet has no inpatient-versus-outpatient split, no board-certification field, and no party flag, so $8,024,472 cannot be read as a psychiatry-workforce census.

PSYCHIATRIST is not a license file

The FEC record does not verify that the donor holds a psychiatry board certification or a state medical license. Residents, retirees, and people using a related mental-health title can sit on other keys. Best-efforts rules do not force a medical taxonomy.

This page cites only $8,024,472, 55,075 contributions, and 1,348 donors. PHYSICIAN, MEDICAL DOCTOR, and PSYCHOLOGIST 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.
