Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 64 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 26 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 10.4% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 64 payments — averaging $17.13 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
