Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.9% 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $612 and has fallen 92.3% since, to $47 in 2023.
Across 102 payments — averaging $12.96 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
