Medical Directors in Oregon
Collaborating Physicians and Oversight for Your Clinic
Oregon’s wellness, medspa, telehealth, and specialty-care sectors are rapidly expanding, and clinic owners want one thing: a fast, compliant, hassle-free launch backed by reliable physician oversight.
At Medical Director Co., we help you achieve that by matching you with a state-licensed Oregon physician, often within 12 to 36 hours, so your clinic can open or scale without delays. Our medical directors hold current, unrestricted Oregon licenses.
Once placed, we take the burden off your team by providing ongoing support, including collaborative agreements, standing protocols, chart review systems, and malpractice coverage that extends to delegated staff. With expert oversight and clear compliance guidance, you can focus on growing your practice while we ensure you remain fully aligned with Oregon’s regulatory requirements.
Challenges in Finding a Medical Director in Oregon
Opening or running a clinic in Oregon often becomes stressful when compliance delays operations. Your clinic may be ready to open, but without a licensed Medical Director, services cannot legally begin.
Common obstacles include:
Legal and financial risks
Clinic launch delayed by the lack of a supervising physician agreement.
Restrictive supervision or unresponsive MDs
Current MD is slow with chart reviews or restricting service offerings.
Operational delays
Clinic expansion blocked by high oversight fees or non-compliance risks.
During the recruitment process, it is often highly preferred that candidates reside in Oregon to meet local licensing and community engagement requirements. Specific qualifications are also highly preferred, though not always mandatory, to ensure the best fit for your clinic.
Medical Director Co. helps clinics overcome these challenges with fast, reliable placement and compliant oversight systems.

Who We
Serve in Oregon
We provide services tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals across Oregon. Our goal is to support every clinician with dependable oversight, clear protocols, and a partnership that strengthens both patient safety and clinic operations.
Nurse Practitioners (APRNs)
APRNs in Oregon practice independently, yet many still seek medical direction for aesthetic services, weight-loss programs, or organizational protocols. Our physicians help NPs establish structure, maintain safety, and operate confidently while offering advanced treatments.
Registered Nurses (RNs)
RNs performing aesthetic or medical procedures require proper delegation from a physician. We match RNs with medical directors who understand Oregon’s delegation standards, helping ensure compliance, competency verification, and seamless clinical workflows.
Physician Associates (PAs)
PAs in Oregon must work under written practice agreements that define scope, prescribing authority, and collaborative workflows. Our physicians provide the guidance and structure needed to support PA practice while ensuring compliance with all regulatory requirements.
Clinic Owners & Operators
Medspa owners, weight-loss and GLP-1 clinics, telehealth platforms, concierge practices, and specialty clinics rely on us for comprehensive oversight. We support business owners by ensuring their teams operate safely and compliantly, in alignment with Oregon’s clinical and regulatory standards.

Oregon Oversight Compliance Rules
APRN / NP Practice & Authority in Oregon
Oregon recognizes APRNs, including NPs, as Independent Licensed Practitioners (LIPs). NPs do not require a collaborating physician under state law. They are accountable for their own clinical decisions and outcomes. For prescribing, clinical procedures, and aesthetic or organizational protocols, NPs must maintain competency and adhere to established practice guidelines. Hospitals and facilities may require written privilege, supervision, or collaborative protocols under ORS 441.064.
Physician Associate / PA Supervision & Delegation in Oregon
Oregon laws governing PAs (ORS 677.495–677.545) transitioned from a supervision model to a collaborative practice model. Recent legislative changes, including House Bills 3036 (2021) and 2584 (2023), fully implemented this updated structure by January 1, 2024. To practice in Oregon, physician assistants must be validly certified and hold the required training and board certification. PAs must maintain written practice agreements defining their scope, delegation terms, and prescribing authority.
Delegation of Medical / Aesthetic Procedures (RNs, etc.)
Physicians may delegate medical or aesthetic tasks to RNs and other personnel, provided the delegation complies with Oregon Board of Nursing rules under ORS Chapter 678. Competency verification, written protocols, and appropriate supervision must be documented. Physicians must provide direct supervision to ensure that all delegated tasks are performed in accordance with best clinical practices.
Telehealth & Electronic Prescribing in Oregon
Telemedicine services must comply with Oregon Medical Board rules regarding clinical standards, documentation, and patient safety. For controlled substances, the medical director must ensure the clinic uses DEA-certified e-prescribing systems and follows Oregon-specific telehealth prescribing requirements. DEA certification required and DEA certification are necessary for electronic prescribing of controlled substances. Accurate data entry and word processing are essential for maintaining telehealth documentation.
Malpractice / Liability Considerations
Oregon Medical Directors should maintain malpractice coverage appropriate for supervisory roles, including delegated procedures, chart review obligations, and indirect oversight requirements. In addition, medical directors should be familiar with health insurance requirements and coverage options relevant to their supervisory roles, as understanding health insurance is essential for ensuring proper access to healthcare services and compliance with insurance-related qualifications. Clinics must ensure their physicians’ insurance covers all delegated acts performed under their supervision.
Common Compliance Risks in Oregon
- PA practices without a written or up-to-date practice agreement.
- PAs prescribing beyond what is defined in their practice agreement.
- Physicians delegating without written protocols or verifying competence.
- RNs or other staff performing tasks outside their legal scope.
- Telehealth prescribing, especially for controlled substances
Types of Clinics and Institutions We Work With in Oregon
We support a wide range of healthcare and wellness clinics across Oregon, each with unique oversight needs. We partner with medical groups and facilitate the integration of medical groups with health systems to deliver coordinated, value-based care across multiple providers.

From injectables like Botox and dermal fillers to microneedling and laser procedures, medspas require medical oversight to ensure treatments are delivered safely and in accordance with Oregon’s aesthetic regulations. Our physicians provide guidance, protocol development, and consistent quality assurance.
Programs involving GLP-1 medications, appetite suppressants, or supervised weight-management plans demand careful monitoring and prescriptive oversight. We ensure clinics follow evidence-based standards and maintain compliant medication protocols.

Anti-Aging & Wellness Clinics
IV therapy, peptide treatments, regenerative modalities, and advanced wellness services require clear protocols and clinical leadership. We help these clinics ensure proper delegation, patient safety, and compliant operational workflows.
Primary care practices benefit from physician oversight that supports coordinated care, safe prescribing habits, and streamlined clinical processes designed for long-term growth and regulatory stability.
We assist urgent care clinics with on-demand physician oversight, protocol development, and quality assurance measures essential for fast-paced clinical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions – Oregon
Do medspas in Oregon need a Medical Director?
Yes. Physician oversight is required for medical-grade aesthetic procedures performed by RNs, PAs, or estheticians. A Medical Director ensures proper delegation, safety protocols, and compliance with Oregon regulations. The job description for Medical Director requires a medical degree from an accredited college, medical board certification, and DEA certification (if required).
Do NPs in Oregon need a collaborating physician?
No. Nurse Practitioners in Oregon are fully independent practitioners and do not require a collaborating physician to diagnose, treat, or prescribe. However, they may still need physician involvement for delegating tasks to RNs or estheticians in medspa settings.
Can PAs in Oregon prescribe controlled substances?
Yes. Physician Associates may prescribe controlled substances, but only when operating under a valid, written practice agreement with a supervising physician. This agreement must clearly outline prescriptive authority and collaboration requirements. All directors must comply with local laws, hold an Oregon license, and complete required training.
Does a supervising physician have to be on-site?
Not necessarily. Oregon allows supervision via telecommunication as long as it aligns with the practice agreement and meets state standards. The physician must remain available for consultation and oversight. New providers receive direct supervision and are supported by the management team and medical staff to ensure quality onboarding.
