Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.7% of the total across 246 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 28 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 16.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,209 and has fallen 63.5% since, to $441 in 2022.
Across 246 payments — averaging $14.90 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
