Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.9% of the total across 91 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 16.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. That places this record below the midpoint for rheumatology clinicians in MD, where the typical reported total is $2,316.
Across 91 payments — averaging $19.46 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
