Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.2% of the total across 154 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 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,232 and has fallen 60.3% since, to $490 in 2021.
Across 154 payments — averaging $13.51 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
