Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.6% of the total across 264 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 36 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,746 and has fallen 93.7% since, to $110 in 2024. Among physician assistant clinicians in RI with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
