Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 165 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 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,530 and has fallen 94.4% since, to $86 in 2023.
Across 165 payments — averaging $15.61 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
