Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 96.7% of the total across 148 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 23 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 20.5% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,573 and has fallen 97.5% since, to $40 in 2024.
Across 148 payments — averaging $13.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
