Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — food and beverage (48.7%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 18 manufacturers reported payments, led by Amgen at 50.0% of the total. Among dermatology clinicians in OR with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 155 payments — averaging $68.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
