Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.6% of the total across 147 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 19.3% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2019 at $2,491 and has fallen 97.9% since, to $53 in 2023.
Across 147 payments — averaging $17.94 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
