Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 75 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 20.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $488 and has fallen 78.8% since, to $104 in 2022.
Across 75 payments — averaging $13.77 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
