Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 96 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 17.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $527 and has fallen 93.2% since, to $36 in 2025.
Across 96 payments — averaging $17.30 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
