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.

    Hi @dnewman The “Health Canada Distinction between advertising and other activities” document addresses Canadian conferences and International conferences held in Canada. General corporate APS informing HCPs of upcoming international conferences (print or digital) may be distributed to Canadian HCPs and may be subject to PAAB review per code section 7.4, depending on the content. Use in branded material would require PAAB review and may be limited to avoid linkage issues. Material (including digital), emanating from the international conference outside of Canada or from the global division of the pharmaceutical company, is outside the scope of PAAB.
The responses, guidance, and advisories provided by the Pharmaceutical Advertising Advisory Board (PAAB), including but not limited to those available through the PAAB Forum, the PAAB website, and any PAAB correspondences, are specifically intended to assist individuals navigating the PAAB preclearance system. Repurposing or reproducing this content without written consent from the PAAB Commissioner is strictly prohibited. This prohibition includes, but is not limited to, use in machine learning or AI models.
