Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 146 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 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 21.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $944 and has fallen 97.3% since, to $26 in 2023.
Across 146 payments — averaging $15.09 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
