Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.2% of the total across 191 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 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,323 and has fallen 97.8% since, to $52 in 2021.
Across 191 payments — averaging $15.61 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
