Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.4% of the total across 71 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 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.8% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $586 and has fallen 51.2% since, to $286 in 2025.
Across 71 payments — averaging $31.92 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
