Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 175 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,561, 2.3 times the $668 reported in 2021. Among physician assistant clinicians in MD with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 175 payments — averaging $21.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
