Common Challenges When Hiring a Medical Director or Supervising Physician in Arizona
Across Arizona, nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, and estheticians are all facing the same hurdles in finding physician oversight.
Delayed placement and limited access
Many clinics and aesthetic businesses in Arizona face long wait times to find a licensed physician, preventing them from opening or expanding their services.
Unclear documentation and delegation
Some medical directors lack verified qualifications or fail to define proper supervision for controlled substances, chart review, or delegated duties, creating compliance risks.
Complex state regulations
Operating in accordance with Arizona Medical Board rules requires knowledge of prescriptive authority, delegation, and scope of practice laws, especially for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and estheticians.
Inconsistent oversight and communication
Unreliable or unavailable collaborating physicians make it difficult to maintain consistent monitoring, documentation, and patient safety standards.
Overpriced or unreliable services
Some placement companies overpromise and underdeliver, leaving clinics without compliant oversight or proper malpractice coverage.

Arizona Medical Director and Collaborating Physician Requirements
Collaborative Practice and Supervision
In Arizona, nurse practitioners (NPs) licensed by the Arizona State Board of Nursing may hold full practice authority once certified and independently credentialed under A.R.S. §32-1601(5) and A.A.C. R4-19-508. These practitioners may evaluate, diagnose, and manage patients without physician collaboration. However, registered nurses (RNs), physician assistants (PAs), and estheticians performing medical or cosmetic procedures must operate under the supervision of a licensed physician. Oversight ensures proper documentation, adherence to industry standards, and consistent patient safety across all practice sites.
Physician Assistant Supervision
Physician assistants must have a written Delegation Agreement with a supervising physician in accordance with A.R.S. §32-2531. The agreement outlines duties, limitations, and the level of supervision required, including review of patient care, controlled substances, and prescriptive authority. Clear communication between the PA and supervising MD is essential to maintain compliance and meet Arizona Medical Board requirements.
Prescriptive Authority
Certified nurse practitioners with an Arizona license may prescribe independently, including controlled substances (Schedule II–V), under A.R.S. §32-1606. Physician assistants may prescribe medications within the scope of their delegation agreement, under the supervision of a licensed physician. Proper documentation, verification of qualifications, and adherence to state law are required for all prescribing professionals.
Delegation Protocols
Only licensed physicians may diagnose, prescribe, and supervise medical treatments in Arizona. Delegation to RNs, PAs, or estheticians must follow the Arizona Medical Practice Act (A.R.S. Title 32, Chapter 13). Non-medical professionals cannot independently perform or advertise medical services such as medical peels, injectables, or laser procedures without physician oversight.
Malpractice Insurance
Physicians acting as medical directors in Arizona must maintain malpractice coverage suited to their scope of delegation. Clinics are responsible for ensuring all delegated procedures and services fall within the coverage of the physician or facility’s policy. Proper insurance verification serves as proof of compliance, patient protection, and professional accountability across all sites.

- Hiring out-of-state MDs without Arizona licensure
- Allowing estheticians or RNs to perform medical acts without physician oversight
