Scope of Practice by State

Where Pharmacists Can Practice Procedural Medicine

Pharmacist scope for clinical injection has expanded significantly since 2020. Most states now permit pharmacists to administer immunizations, and a growing number allow additional injectable services under collaborative practice agreements (CPAs) with a supervising physician.

Most Permissive Broad CPA Authority — Wide Injection Scope
California Colorado Idaho Iowa Minnesota Montana New Mexico Oregon Washington
Most Common CPA Required for Non-Immunization Injections
Alabama Alaska Arizona Arkansas Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Illinois Indiana Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi Missouri Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming
Please verify: Pharmacist injection authority is among the fastest-changing scope areas in US healthcare. Verify current collaborative practice agreement rules with your State Board of Pharmacy before offering new services. This information is general guidance and should not be construed as legal advice.

Scope of Practice

Career Paths & Legal Considerations

Pharmacist scope of practice is expanding across the United States. A growing number of states now permit pharmacists to administer injections (including aesthetic injectables in some states), prescribe for specific conditions, and operate collaborative practice agreements with physicians. Even where direct injection authority is limited, pharmacists play essential roles in compounding, formulation, patient consultation, and partnering with injectors. Empire's courses give pharmacists the clinical knowledge to participate in these expanding practice areas — always verify specific authorities with your state board of pharmacy.

Frequently Asked Questions — Pharmacists

It depends on your state. A growing number of states now permit pharmacists to administer Botox and other aesthetic injectables — either directly (after additional training and certification) or as part of a collaborative practice agreement with a physician. Other states limit pharmacist injection authority to vaccines or specific medications. Empire's courses cover the clinical techniques regardless of your state's current scope, positioning you to practice when authority expands.
Yes. Empire Medical Training courses are AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ accredited, and this accreditation is recognized for Continuing Pharmacy Education (CPE) credit in most states. Certificates document the credit hours earned for your state board of pharmacy requirements.
Functional medicine is a natural fit for pharmacists because it heavily leverages pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, and drug interactions. Pharmacists trained in functional medicine can run cash-pay wellness consulting services, operate compounding pharmacies supporting functional medicine prescribers, partner with MDs and NPs in integrative clinics, or launch their own specialty practices. Empire's functional medicine courses give pharmacists the clinical protocols and business model to make this transition.
For pharmacists starting with aesthetics, we recommend Complete Botox Training and Complete Dermal Filler Training. For functional medicine, start with Peptide Therapies and Medical Weight Loss — both leverage pharmacology expertise. Pharmacists interested in pain management often take Joint & Extremity Injection or The Pain Show. Many pharmacists complete membership programs to access multiple academies.
Absolutely — this is one of the most successful business models for pharmacists expanding into clinical services. Pharmacists often partner with MDs, NPs, or PAs to launch med spas, wellness centers, or weight loss clinics. The pharmacist handles product sourcing, formulation, compounding, and patient consultation while the physician or NP handles injections and prescribing. Empire's Business & Marketing courses cover practice partnership models.
