Training & certification expected
No state-mandated injector training beyond licensure; however, physician-approved protocols and delegation documents are essential.
The license that lets you inject
MD/DO, NP/PA with physician collaboration, RN under physician delegation.
If you’re an RN
Yes, under physician delegation; RN must work under a physician's standing orders or protocols.
Why the order still matters
Required; in-person or telehealth allowed under certain conditions. Training gets you the skill; a valid order or good-faith exam is what keeps the treatment lawful.
What to verify in North Carolina
Establish a clear physician collaboration or delegation agreement and ensure your medical director is licensed and actively involved in protocol oversight.
