Who Can Practice Academy of Functional Medicine in Chicago?

Chicago allows licensed physicians (MDs and DOs), dentists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and registered nurses (RNs) to provide functional medicine services within their defined scope of practice, including IV therapy, peptide prescribing, and hormone optimization treatments.

Chicago grants full practice authority to nurse practitioners after a transition period of supervised practice. Once NPs complete this transition period, they can practice independently without physician collaboration agreements. This means experienced NPs in Chicago can open independent functional medicine clinics and IV therapy practices. PAs must maintain physician supervision per the Chicago Medical Practice Act.

Registered nurses may administer IV therapy and other functional medicine treatments under the delegation and supervision of a physician or qualified NP. All providers should complete accredited training — such as Empire Medical Training's CME-certified programs — and confirm their scope with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation before offering services.
