Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 95.1% of the total across 81 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 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 15.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $515 and has fallen 93.2% since, to $35 in 2024.
Across 81 payments — averaging $16.64 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
