Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.0% of the total across 89 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 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $436 and has fallen 50.9% since, to $214 in 2024.
Across 89 payments — averaging $15.58 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
