Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.5% of the total across 101 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 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $831 and has fallen 66.0% since, to $282 in 2021.
Across 101 payments — averaging $15.52 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
