Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.3% of the total across 134 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Amgen at 28.6% of the total. Among women's health clinicians in IL with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 134 payments — averaging $17.25 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
