Emergency Physician occupation money in the 2008 FEC cycle
$517,279 in itemized individual contributions is the FEC.gov join between the occupation EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN and the 2008 presidential election cycle. That cell covers 790 receipts from 553 donors. The occupation’s all-cycle total is $6.9 million ($6,913,516), so 2008 is 7.5% of the labeled roll. Physician without emergency is a different occupation key with a much larger all-cycle book. This page is the occupation-and-cycle match, not an ABEM roster, a hospital ED privileging file, or medical advice.
Key figures
- Emergency Physician × 2008: $517,279.
- 790 receipts from 553 donors.
- 7.5% of the $6,913,516 EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN total.
- Filer-entered occupation; emergency-medicine association PAC filings are a different table.

Emergency Physician as occupation, 2008 as the cycle
Two FEC fields define the cell: occupation EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN and election cycle 2008. Matching rows sum to $517,279, 790 contributions, and 553 donors. Drop either key and the number changes. ER physician, emergency medicine, emergency doctor, and physician are other keys if those words appear. This join does not recode the label into an ABEM roster, a hospital ED privileging file, or medical advice. Other cycle amounts are not fields in this packet except as the remainder on the occupation hub.
Parent hubs: Emergency Physician donations at /occupations/emergency-physician/ and the 2008 election cycle at /election-cycles/2008/. All occupations at /occupations/ lists neighboring titles. All FEC ties at /ties/ keeps each occupation-year cell on its own path so a reader can move without mixing $517,279 into another year or another string. Do not add those parent pages into this cell.
Party, committee, and employer breakdowns for Emergency Physician in 2008 are not fields in this packet. Do not infer a partisan split from $517,279. Community versus academic versus locum emergency practice is unpublished for Emergency Physician in 2008. The occupation page and the 2008 cycle page are the next clicks for named committees. More than five hundred donor keys and under eight hundred receipts is a high-donor specialty cell with receipts close to the donor count.
EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN, not generic physician
$6.9 million ($6,913,516) belongs to the exact string EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN across harvested cycles. It is not an ABEM roster, a hospital ED privileging file, or medical advice. People who wrote nearby wording — ER physician, emergency medicine, emergency doctor, and physician — sit in other rows if the characters differ. The 2008 slice is 7.5% of that title bucket ($517,279 of $6,913,516). Share of EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN is not share of all 2008 receipts. The remainder, $6,396,237, sits in other cycles on the occupation hub.
Amended individual contribution reports can move $517,279. A later harvest of the same occupation string can move $6,913,516. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved. Live Emergency Physician donations and the live 2008 election cycle pages are the tables; this prose is a packet snapshot. Itemized individual contributions are the only receipt class in this cell. Unitemized gifts below the itemization threshold, in-kind goods, and bundled contributions without this occupation string are outside $517,279.
553 emergency-physician donors and 790 receipts in 2008
553 donors and 790 receipts — about 1.4 lines per donor. Mean per receipt about $655; mean per donor about $935. Those ratios are arithmetic on two harvested integers. They are not medians, not typical gifts, and not a claim about income. More than five hundred donor keys and under eight hundred receipts is a high-donor specialty cell with receipts close to the donor count. No median is published in this packet.
Repeat gifts add receipts. 790 is a line count, not 553 one-time gifts. Community versus academic versus locum emergency practice is not encoded in the occupation string. Neither figure is a headcount of everyone who works in the field named by EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN. People who left occupation blank, used a nearby spelling, or listed a more specific title are not in $517,279. ER Physician as an abbreviation-plus-title string, if stored separately, is not this two-word Emergency Physician join.
ED specialty versus association PACs
Cite $517,279 as Emergency Physician in 2008. Cite $6,913,516 as this title’s occupation total. Do not add emergency-medicine association PAC filings to either figure. Those filings are committee reports. Mixing PAC spending with $517,279 would blend FEC tables. All occupations lists neighboring titles so a searcher can open the other string’s cycle cell rather than rescale 7.5%.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. This join does not recode EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN into a Bureau of Labor Statistics title, a NAICS code, or a license class. If a researcher needs those crosswalks, they start from the raw string. Correlation is not causation: a presidential-year total does not prove the occupation’s motives, and it does not attach these gifts to any federal spending dataset. USAspending.gov awards are a different ledger. This page does not claim that 2008 donations funded contracts or grants.
How to cite Emergency Physician money in 2008
A clean footnote names occupation EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN, election cycle 2008, $517,279 in itemized individual contributions, 790 receipts, and 553 donors on FEC.gov. Keep the itemized word. Mean dollars remain about $655 per line and $935 per donor in the cell. If the live Emergency Physician donations overlay has refreshed, quote the overlay. Do not treat 790 as unique workers in the trade named by EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN.
This URL exists because two filters meet. Emergency Physician donations rolls every cycle into one EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN running total. The 2008 election cycle rolls every occupation into one 2008 total. Only the Emergency Physician × 2008 overlay applies both filters, which is why this page cites 790 receipts and $517,279. All FEC ties is the directory of other occupation-cycle cells.
Occupation hub, 2008 hub, and Physician as a sibling
The occupation hub still holds $6,396,237 outside 2008. Most of the $6,913,516 roll is not this cycle’s cell. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the year, not either hub restated. ER Physician as an abbreviation-plus-title string, if stored separately, is not this two-word Emergency Physician join. Gifts per donor in 2008 average about 1.4. That ratio is 790 divided by 553, not a measure of turnout. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
