Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.3% of the total across 140 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 15.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,110 and has fallen 96.2% since, to $42 in 2025.
Across 140 payments — averaging $13.54 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
