Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 210 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 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $1,369 and has fallen 96.5% since, to $48 in 2024.
Across 210 payments — averaging $14.22 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
