Scope of Practice by State

Where Physician Assistants Can Practice Procedural Medicine

Scope of Practice

Career Paths & Legal Considerations

Physician assistants perform procedures under the delegation and supervision of a licensed physician. The specific procedures a PA can perform are defined by the supervising physician's scope of practice, state law, and the PA's training and competency. Most states permit PAs to perform injectable aesthetics, interventional pain procedures, IV therapy, and laser treatments once they've completed accredited training. Empire's instructors help PAs understand the legal and practical considerations of integrating new procedures into their existing practice.

Frequently Asked Questions — Physician Assistants

Yes. Physician assistants can legally perform Botox and dermal filler injections in all 50 states, provided they're operating within their supervising physician's scope of practice and have completed accredited training. Empire's aesthetic courses are specifically designed to prepare PAs for safe, effective injectable practice.
Yes. All Empire courses are AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ accredited and recognized by the AAPA (American Academy of Physician Associates) and NCCPA for PA CME requirements. Each course certificate documents the credit hours earned for license renewal and board maintenance.
We recommend starting with Complete Botox Training and Complete Dermal Filler Training — these are foundational courses that cover the most common aesthetic procedures. From there, PAs often add PRP training, PDO thread lifts, and advanced techniques. Many PAs complete the Aesthetic Academy membership to access all aesthetic courses in one program.
Integration depends on your practice setup. If you work in a primary care, urgent care, or orthopedic practice, you'll typically discuss adding new services with your supervising physician and update your delegation agreement. If you're launching a new specialty practice (like a med spa or pain clinic), Empire's Business & Marketing courses cover the practice-building side — from equipment selection to patient marketing.
Yes, in most states. PAs commonly perform joint injections, trigger point injections, and ultrasound-guided procedures under physician supervision. More complex interventional procedures like epidural steroid injections may have additional requirements depending on state law. Empire's pain management courses give PAs the hands-on skills and clinical competency to perform these procedures safely.
