Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 62 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 17.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $286 and has fallen 94.7% since, to $15 in 2025. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in AL, where the typical reported total is $1,456.
Across 62 payments — averaging $17.23 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
