Providing compliant physician partnerships and medical oversight across San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Introduction

Your Partner for San Francisco Physician Collaboration

California healthcare regulations require structured physician supervision or collaboration for many midlevel providers, including nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs). While California has expanded NP practice authority, many clinics still require physician oversight to remain compliant with California NP and PA collaboration laws.

At Medical Director Co., we make physician collaboration in San Francisco simple, compliant, and efficient. We connect clinics with licensed supervising physicians for NPs and PAs who understand Medical Board of California collaboration rules, delegation standards, and modern outpatient and telehealth clinic models.

Whether you operate an aesthetic clinic, IV hydration practice, weight loss center, hormone clinic, primary care office, specialty clinic, or telehealth service, we help ensure San Francisco medical director compliance from day one. Hire a collaborating physician in San Francisco today.
