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.
HCP "pro" website submission requirements
-
Companies have created "pro" websites where they house information on disease states (educational content) as well as products and we understand that the website "shell" with the "common" information will be one submission and each product page would be its own submission. My question is about disease state information/medical education. If a company wants to include CME content on a page of the website (completely separate from the product page/information), does it need to be submitted to PAAB to determine if it would be exempt? I've seen on one website that has this type of set-up that the website "shell" and product pages have the PAAB logo, but the disease information page does not.

Hi @laraholmes
We can’t speak to specific reviews or the context or understanding of the website you’re referring to. In the absence of context required to provide specific direction, as a general rule of thumb, when you link advertising and non-advertising, everything becomes advertising and should meet the advertising regulations. PAAB can assist during the reviewer process to help create separation between branded and unbranded content as well as links to additional educational materials.
