Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 94.5% of the total across 106 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 17.2% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2021 at $529 and has fallen 95.7% since, to $23 in 2025.
Across 106 payments — averaging $14.84 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
