Who Can Practice Functional Medicine in New York?

New York permits 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. This includes IV therapy, peptide prescribing, and hormone optimization protocols.

New York is currently a restricted practice state for nurse practitioners, though legislation is transitioning toward broader NP authority. NPs must maintain a collaborative agreement with a physician for clinical services. For functional medicine offerings including IV therapy and peptide prescribing, NPs should verify current supervision requirements with the New York State Education Department.

Registered nurses may administer IV therapy and functional medicine treatments under the direct delegation and supervision of a licensed physician. Physician assistants must work under physician supervision. All providers should complete accredited training — such as Empire Medical Training's CME-certified programs — and confirm compliance with New York regulations before offering functional medicine services.
