Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 81 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 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $598 and has fallen 94.3% since, to $34 in 2025.
Across 81 payments — averaging $20.60 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
