Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 300 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,520 and has fallen 68.2% since, to $483 in 2022.
Across 300 payments — averaging $13.55 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
