Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 90 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $403 and has fallen 67.6% since, to $130 in 2025.
Across 90 payments — averaging $17.83 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
