Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.8% of the total across 111 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 19.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $740 and has fallen 88.2% since, to $87 in 2024. That places this record below the midpoint for gynecologic oncology clinicians in TN, where the typical reported total is $3,700.
Across 111 payments — averaging $23.42 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
