Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.3% of the total across 129 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 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $899 and has fallen 93.7% since, to $56 in 2022.
Across 129 payments — averaging $14.71 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
