Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.1% of the total across 128 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 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $584 and has fallen 96.8% since, to $19 in 2025.
