Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 136 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 31 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2023 at $1,189 and has fallen 93.4% since, to $78 in 2024.
Across 136 payments — averaging $20.59 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
