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.
Sending Presentations to Doctors
-
When submitting materials to PAAB, you have to select various options to describe the APS: Leave Behind, Presentation, Email etc. Then PAAB reviews in that particular context.
Are there any limitations in providing a copy of a PAAB-approved Presentation to a doctor directly following the actual presentation of the content.

Hey @georgian21
The APS category helps us to track the types of tools being submitted and reviewed. They also provide context on if they are to be rep-directed or self-directed. This can have implications for the flow of the piece. In theory, an approved slide deck can be shared after the presentation, with the assumption that if there are speaker notes, they have been reviewed and approved as part of the piece. You should also consider how you disseminate the presentation, with additional guidance in the “Dissemination” section of the PAAB Clarification regarding digitization of APS Helping healthcare product manufacturers plan for the evolving COVID-19 operational context document.
If the presentation is to be recorded and distributed, this recording would require a separate review prior to being distributed. See paab.ca/myths (5) for further elaboration
