Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 90.2% of the total across 48 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 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 11.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $735 and has fallen 83.3% since, to $122 in 2023. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in MD, where the typical reported total is $2,310.
Across 48 payments — averaging $21.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
