Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 182 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 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,546, 5.8 times the $268 reported in 2021.
Across 182 payments — averaging $21.38 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
