Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 333 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 44 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,330 and has fallen 98.6% since, to $18 in 2025.
