Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.9% of the total across 248 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 14.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,616 and has fallen 86.0% since, to $227 in 2024.
Across 248 payments — averaging $13.46 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
