Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.8% of the total across 173 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 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,382 and has fallen 97.3% since, to $37 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for gastroenterology clinicians in CT, where the typical reported total is $3,356.
Across 173 payments — averaging $15.18 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
