At $45,000, Tara Dall received the most from GlaxoSmithKline among Wisconsin doctors during the three-month period disclosed by drug companies. That ranks her in the top 30 of about 3,600 doctors from around the country who were paid as speakers by GlaxoSmithKline.

She was paid up to $3,000 a talk and spoke 15 times in the three-month period, the company said. In the last year, Dall said, she has given at least 60 lectures, and probably more, about Lovaza.

According to her résumé, Dall does talks for five other drug and medical companies in addition to GlaxoSmithKline as well as community talks, including an unpaid speech on heart disease she gave to GE employees in Wisconsin last August. Video of that speech can be found on YouTube.
