Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 216 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 34 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,257 and has fallen 97.7% since, to $29 in 2025.
Across 216 payments — averaging $15.53 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
