Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.4% of the total across 171 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,280 and has fallen 62.7% since, to $477 in 2022.
Across 171 payments — averaging $19.04 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
