Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.5% of the total across 108 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 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,399 and has fallen 82.3% since, to $247 in 2024.
Across 108 payments — averaging $36.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
