Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 102 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 30 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,632, more than ten times the $68 reported in 2023.
Across 102 payments — averaging $18.89 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
