Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.7% of the total across 296 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 27 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 22.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $1,364 and has fallen 97.1% since, to $40 in 2025.
Across 296 payments — averaging $13.35 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
