Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 141 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 17.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,394 and has fallen 93.9% since, to $85 in 2025.
Across 141 payments — averaging $13.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
