Scope of Practice
In the District of Columbia, aesthetic injectable procedures including botox and dermal filler treatments may be performed by licensed physicians (MDs and DOs), dentists, nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), and registered nurses (RNs) within their authorized scope of practice.
The District of Columbia grants full practice authority to nurse practitioners, meaning NPs can practice independently without physician supervision or a collaborative agreement. This makes DC an appealing jurisdiction for NPs who wish to open their own aesthetic clinics or med spas. Physician assistants must maintain a supervisory relationship with a physician as regulated by the DC Board of Medicine. Registered nurses may perform injectable aesthetic treatments only under the delegation of a physician or nurse practitioner, as governed by the DC Board of Nursing.
All practitioners offering aesthetic services in DC should verify their scope of practice with the relevant licensing board and complete accredited training, such as Empire Medical Training's CME-accredited certification courses, before treating patients.
