KOLWatch - meet the very busy Dr Maria-Carmen Wilson


Lilly's top earner in the Tampa Bay area is Dr. Maria-Carmen Wilson, a neurologist who is director of Tampa General Hospital's Headache & Pain Center and a professor at USF College of Medicine. She also is director of USF's headache medicine fellowship program, co-director of the division of pain medicine and associate director of both the neurology residency program and pain medicine fellowship program.

Her annual salary from USF is $195,410.95.

Despite her busy schedule at the university, Wilson found time to moonlight for Lilly, which paid her $54,400 in the first quarter.

She reached Lilly's annual cap of $75,000 in May.

Nonetheless, Wilson failed to follow USF policy to get prior approval before making presentations on behalf of a drugmaker. Wilson also failed to inform USF when she took free trips to Scotland and Spain for drugmaker AstraZeneca.
