Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.1% of the total across 98 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 21.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $956 and has fallen 98.2% since, to $18 in 2023.
