Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.2% of the total across 216 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,649 and has fallen 95.3% since, to $78 in 2024.
Across 216 payments — averaging $16.37 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
