Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.5% of the total across 177 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 32 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $825 and has fallen 97.9% since, to $17 in 2025.
Across 177 payments — averaging $14.75 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
