Payments from drug & device makers

What this record shows

Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 98.4% of the total across 422 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 39 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 14.6% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2022 at $2,616 and has fallen 91.6% since, to $221 in 2023. Among internal medicine clinicians in MI 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.
