Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 100.0% of the total across 325 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 14.7% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. 2025 is the largest year on record at $1,876, 2.4 times the $796 reported in 2021. Among acute care clinicians in SC with any reported payments, this total sits in the top 10% — high for the specialty, which is a reason to read the composition above rather than the number alone.
Across 325 payments — averaging $19.08 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
