Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.5% of the total across 227 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 19.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2024 at $1,961 and has fallen 88.2% since, to $232 in 2025. Among pediatrics clinicians in MD 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.
Across 227 payments — averaging $29.82 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
