Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.6% of the total across 44 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 22 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations.
Across 44 payments — averaging $103.07 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
