practice), through additional training and certification by a national

Specialty Association or Society with a published core curriculum and

credentialing in the procedure or through specialized training courses
qualifying the practitioner to perform specific procedures such as

aesthetics procedures. Completion of a single course or certification

program may not meet the board requirements or standard of care for

appropriate delegation of a procedure, so check with the applicable

state board. Many boards will require submission of the proposed

procedure prior to approval. Even if an APP is authorized to perform
services or other acts pursuant to the application to the Board and state

law, supervising physicians may not require him or her to perform that

service or act if the APP feels incapable of carrying it out safely and

properly. All physicians and APPs alike are accountable for making

decisions that are based on the individuals’ educational preparation and
current clinical competence, to practice with reasonable skill and safety.

Additionally, if any practitioner changes scope of practice, it is important

to notify SVMIC’s underwriting department to ensure coverage is

appropriate.

Check the applicable state board for specific procedure limitations.
