Forum Update: Supporting Community-Led Discussion
The forum was created as a space for shared learning and peer support, and as the community grows, we want to lean more fully into that purpose.
Going forward, PAAB will be taking a more listening-first role in forum discussions. Rather than responding immediately to every question, we’ll be encouraging members to engage with one another, share experiences, and help build collective understanding. PAAB will continue to monitor conversations and will step in to:
- Correct any misunderstandings
- Provide guidance when questions remain unanswered after a few days
- Support discussions where official clarification is needed
Our goal is to foster a collaborative, trusted community where knowledge is shared and strengthened by everyone’s contributions.
Thank you for being part of the conversation.
Does the recognized Canadian health professional organization have to be a national organization?

As a follow up to question 593, if we want to point to European guidelines as there are no Canadian guidelines and the US guidelines are many years out-of-date and don't include new drug classes, does the letter need to be from a recognized national Canadian health professional organization representing this therapeutic area? Or could it be a provincial organization, for example the Quebec professional organization?

Good Morning @jennifer_cm
The letter should be from the national body to support that it is widely used by Canadian health professionals. If you would like confirmation prior to building out a piece, the PAAB opinion service can be used to assess the guidelines.
