Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 109 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 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,266 and has fallen 98.0% since, to $25 in 2024.
Across 109 payments — averaging $14.97 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
