Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.8% of the total across 134 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 18 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 134 payments — averaging $23.78 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
