By Evan at Inside MedSpa

Training & certification expected

No state-mandated injector training beyond licensure; physician-directed training recommended.

The license that lets you inject

MD, DO, NP, PA, RN under physician supervision

If you’re an RN

Why the order still matters

Required; in-person exam generally required, telehealth varies by board interpretation Training gets you the skill; a valid order or good-faith exam is what keeps the treatment lawful.

What to verify in Tennessee

Obtain written protocols from the Tennessee Medical Board regarding RN injection authority and ensure a qualified medical director oversees all aesthetic procedures.
