SVMIC Advanced Practice Provider Collaboration: Assessing the Risk

Training and certification may be obtained:

• during the APP’s advanced specialty accredited education
for licensure (scope of practice)

• through additional training and certification by a national

Specialty Association or Society with a published core
curriculum and credentialing in the procedure

• 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.
