Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.4% of the total across 114 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 16 manufacturers reported payments, led by Amgen at 32.3% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,877 and has fallen 95.9% since, to $76 in 2025.

What the payments were tied to
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.
