Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.0% of the total across 116 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 25 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,281 and has fallen 97.8% since, to $49 in 2021. That places this record below the midpoint for dermatology clinicians in TX, where the typical reported total is $4,085.
Across 116 payments — averaging $20.33 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
