Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.1% of the total across 130 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 16 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 17.0% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Among psychiatric/mental health clinicians in OR with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 5% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
