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.
388 - I am a journalist doing a story on what advertising and or perqs are allowed to be given to doctors and medical professionals to use/prescribe a drug. What regulations are in place governing what is aimed at the medical professional?

Hi. I am responding in Patrick’s absence. The PAAB website has a wealth of information regarding regulations and guidelines that govern health product advertising to health professionals, consumers and patients. See also other industry ethics standards organizations and Health Canada information on their website. If you have specific questions please call the PAAB office.
