Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.5% of the total across 205 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 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,513 and has fallen 97.1% since, to $44 in 2022.
Across 205 payments — averaging $14.40 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
