Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 197 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 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,052 and has fallen 98.6% since, to $15 in 2023.
Across 197 payments — averaging $14.44 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
