Who Needs a Medical Director?
Most states require NPs, PAs, and RNs to work under or in collaboration with a licensed physician for aesthetic procedures and medical consults. The rules vary by state.
Key Responsibilities of a Medical Director
They oversee protocols, chart reviews, and compliance. This isn’t just a signature role — directors share clinical responsibility.
Common Mistakes
- Using “paper” directors without proper oversight
- Skipping chart audits or delegation protocols
- Failing to update contracts when staff or services change
Structuring the Relationship
Outline supervision scope, compensation, termination clauses, and liability coverage in writing. Consulting with legal counsel before finalizing is smart business.
