Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 93.2% of the total across 91 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 29 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 19.1% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $1,546 and has fallen 83.4% since, to $257 in 2025.
Across 91 payments — averaging $43.02 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
