Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.4% of the total across 317 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 42 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $3,106 and has fallen 93.1% since, to $214 in 2025.
