What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.2% of the total across 116 separate payments, which is the pattern of a clinician who attends manufacturer presentations rather than one with a consulting arrangement. 21 manufacturers reported payments, led by Smith+Nephew at 24.4% of the total. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $980 and has fallen 85.2% since, to $145 in 2024.
