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.
Annotated references required if accompanied by confirmation letter by Med Dept?

I realize we need a list of references for HCP-targeted information. Are we required to annotate the references if the medical department confirms in a letter that the content is accurate as per the references?

All materials should be reviewed and approved by the manufacturer’s medical department prior to submission to PAAB as per the efile submission form and Code section 1.6B3. However, this does not negate the requirement to annotate the references to facilitate PAAB review of the APS against advertising regulations. Please see our new guidance document for the submission process for directions on referencing.
