Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 81 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 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $569 and has fallen 97.5% since, to $14 in 2023.
Across 81 payments — averaging $15.56 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
