Pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers paid cardiology fellows $13.3 million with the majority of the money going to those in procedural intensive subspecialties.

The majority of cardiology fellows received a payment for a meal, travel, or consulting from a drug or device maker during their final year before graduation, reported investigators.

Because the length of a fellowship varies across institutions, the authors focused on the final year of training, Dhruva told. As a result,"these payments are definitely an underestimate of the total amount that these cardiology fellows received during their training," said Dhruva.The researchers also excluded research grants.

Three years after their fellowship, 96% of proceduralists and 81% of those in nonprocedural subspecialties received a payment, totaling $37 million over the 2014-2021 period. The median payment per physician per year was $1112 for interventionalists and electrophysiologists and $277 for the nonprocedural subspecialists.
