Delegating prescriber
Also called: medical director, supervising physician
The licensed practitioner with medical training in aesthetics who evaluates patients, writes the orders a nurse injector works from, and supervises the work. An APRN may fill this role in Arizona.
In Arizona a registered nurse performs advanced aesthetic procedures only on a licensed practitioner’s order and under that practitioner’s supervision. The Board of Nursing expects the practitioner to be reachable for consultation and able to assess a patient within a medically reasonable time. See who can inject in Arizona.
