Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 51 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 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 23.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $367, 4.1 times the $90 reported in 2019. That places this record below the midpoint for obstetrics & gynecology clinicians in AL, where the typical reported total is $1,456.
Across 51 payments — averaging $19.34 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
