Payments from drug & device makers
What this record shows
Almost everything reported here is food and beverage — 99.6% of the total across 186 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 19 manufacturers, the largest accounting for just 12.9% — the pattern of someone who eats at a lot of different presentations. Reporting peaked in 2020 at $1,129 and has fallen 98.7% since, to $14 in 2021.
Across 186 payments — averaging $11.67 each. Meals, travel, consulting and speaking fees, gifts and royalties reported by drug and device makers.
