01 / PHYSICIANSPhysicians & Medical Directors
Discuss medical direction within an active Illinois license to practice medicine in all its branches and your clinical competence: assessment, treatment plans, permitted delegation, consultation and review.
Define responsibilities, coverage and response to complications. A director title does not permit lending a license or delegating physician-only work. Procedure-specific requirements determine when a physician must be on site.

02 / NURSE PRACTITIONERSNurse Practitioners
Discuss good faith exams within participating-practice care, clinical assessment, follow-up and review work that fits your education, certification and practice authority. Training contributions depend on relevant experience.
An Illinois APRN with full practice authority may practice without a written collaborative agreement within national certification and statutory authority. Other outpatient APRNs generally need the required collaboration. Physician-only services and operative surgery are not authorized by full practice authority; verify individual license or permit status and treatment-specific rules.

03 / PHYSICIAN ASSISTANTSPhysician Assistants
Discuss evaluations, good faith exams within participating-practice care, follow-up and treatment-related review within your training and authorized services.
In an ordinary outpatient med spa, a PA generally needs a written collaborative agreement describing authorized services, physician communication and procedures requiring physician presence. Prescribing depends on the applicable delegated authority. Institutional exceptions are specific and should not be assumed for a freestanding spa.

04 / REGISTERED NURSESRegistered Nurses
Discuss nursing care, delegated aesthetic treatments and clinical skills development. Experienced nurses may also discuss training support and nursing documentation review within their competence.
Confirm appropriate orders or delegation, treatment-specific competence and the required clinical availability. Nursing assessment is distinct from medical diagnosis and prescribing. An RN license does not independently authorize those medical functions, and a course certificate does not expand nursing scope.
