Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.8% of the total across 85 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 20 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 18.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,049 and has fallen 83.6% since, to $172 in 2021.
Across 85 payments — averaging $19.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
