What this record shows
This record is dominated by speaking fees: $240,427 of the $245,761 with a category attached, or 97.8%. Medtronic accounts for 72.0% of it on its own, with 25 other manufacturers making up the rest. 2025 is the largest year on record at $96,494, more than ten times the $1,347 reported in 2021. Among adult health clinicians in TN with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
