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.
399 - We have an HCP-gated educational website/app containing endorsed medical education. We would like to post a program comprised of KOL-presented patient cases containing a video segment featuring one of that KOL's patients. What is the patient allowed to speak about on the video (e.g. their quality of life post-therapy...)?

First you have to decide if the case study presentation is advertising or not. If it includes mention of the sponsor's drug, it is usually advertising. Then all statements should be consistent with the Product Monograph and within the standards of the PAAB Code of Advertising Acceptance. You should also consult the Health Canada policy guideline "The Distinction Between Advertising and Other Activities".
