Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 92.7% of the total across 94 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 24 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,441, more than ten times the $40 reported in 2023.
