Medical Directors in Georgia
Expert Compliance Solutions for Your Georgia Clinic
The Georgia healthcare industry is experiencing rapid growth, with medspas, weight loss centers, and telehealth practices expanding across the state. With this growth comes heightened oversight from the Georgia Composite Medical Board and other regulators. A robust system for compliance and oversight is necessary to ensure that healthcare organizations meet regulatory requirements and maintain high standards.
Discover how Medical Director Co. can support your compliance and operational goals.
What Is a Collaborating Physician in Georgia?
A collaborating physician in Georgia is a licensed doctor who enters into a written agreement with nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), or registered nurses (RNs) to provide clinical leadership and oversight for certain medical tasks. Appropriate certification is required for this position to ensure compliance with quality standards and professional development.
Key responsibilities include:
- Outlining the essential functions and core responsibilities of the collaborating physician position, such as leadership in quality improvement, patient safety, and healthcare accreditation.
- Approving prescriptive authority for NPs and PAs.
- Reviewing patient care protocols.
- Ensuring compliance with Georgia Composite Medical Board regulations, and ensuring that each MD assigned complies with all regulatory, policy, and organizational standards.
- Maintaining delegation and supervision standards.
- Ensuring that each assigned employee complies with all regulatory and organizational standards.
- Performing other duties as needed, such as participating in research, education, or direct patient care, reflects the flexibility and breadth of the job.
Without a valid collaboration agreement, many advanced practice providers in Georgia cannot operate legally. That’s why securing a collaborating physician is a nonnegotiable step in launching or maintaining your healthcare business. This job is essential for ensuring safe, compliant, and high-quality care within the healthcare system.
Challenges in Finding a Medical Director in Georgia
Opening or running a clinic in Georgia often becomes frustrating when compliance slows everything down.
Your website is ready, staff are hired, inventory is stocked—but without a Georgia-licensed medical director, you can’t open your doors. This gap leaves employees idle and operations on hold.
Even if you already have coverage, many providers face other issues: medical directors who are unresponsive, overly restrictive, or charging high retainers that cut into revenue. As your clinic grows, some demand more money while limiting the treatments you can offer.
Other common obstacles include:
- Long delays waiting for callbacks
- Overpriced “medical director packages”
- Empty promises of placement “within 2 weeks” while clinics lose money daily
With demand high and availability limited, many clinics in Georgia struggle to secure reliable medical directors. If you’re an NP, RN, PA, or esthetician, you’re not alone. Medical Director Co. helps you overcome these barriers and get the coverage you need.

Georgia law requires PAs to work under physician delegation. Our collaborating physicians help establish clear delegation protocols while supporting your clinical growth. Collaborating physicians also conduct regular reviews to ensure PAs fulfill their essential functions, maintaining compliance with all relevant standards.

Collaborative Agreements
Written contracts between physicians and NPs/PAs are required, and certain roles or responsibilities may be limited by state law or organizational policy.
Prescriptive Authority
Georgia allows NPs and PAs to prescribe medications under physician oversight.
Telehealth-Specific Requirements
