Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.3% of the total across 103 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 13.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $590 and has fallen 57.3% since, to $252 in 2023.
Across 103 payments — averaging $18.27 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
