Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
The money is spread across several categories — consulting fees (51.1%), speaking fees and travel and lodging — rather than concentrated in one kind of arrangement. 8 manufacturers reported payments, led by Sanofi Pasteur Inc. at 40.9% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $82,586 and has fallen 54.7% since, to $37,443 in 2025. Among pediatric infectious diseases clinicians in TN with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
