Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.6% of the total across 234 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 12.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,956 and has fallen 57.2% since, to $838 in 2021.
Across 234 payments — averaging $15.65 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
