Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 97.2% of the total across 96 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 21 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 13.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $542 and has fallen 79.2% since, to $113 in 2025.
Across 96 payments — averaging $21.93 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
