Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 91.7% of the total across 86 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. It is spread thinly across 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,650, 3.7 times the $441 reported in 2023.
Across 86 payments — averaging $33.20 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
