Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
This record is dominated by consulting fees: $37,335 of the $40,769 with a category attached, or 91.6%. GSK accounts for 82.2% of it on its own, with 20 other manufacturers making up the rest. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $31,925 and has fallen 87.3% since, to $4,039 in 2025. Among internal medicine clinicians in CA with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 112 payments — averaging $364.01 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.

Products named in the reported payments. Only payments of $100 or more are attributed here — the typical reported payment nationally is a meal worth about $16, and listing those product-by-product would be noise.
