Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.3% 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,713 and has fallen 67.9% since, to $550 in 2025. Among medical clinicians in IA 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 146 payments — averaging $25.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
