Arizona medical director requirements for med spas
Medical-director, supervision, and delegation requirements for aesthetic practices. Below are the Arizona rules that govern it, each linked to its primary source. Monitoring and reference, not legal advice.
Physician supervision & delegation in Arizona
Arizona regulates individual licensees, not procedures by name; delegation flows through the Medical Practice Act.
A medical assistant is an unlicensed person who may perform delegated tasks commensurate with their training but may not diagnose or design/modify a treatment program. Failing to adequately supervise medical assistants or other personnel is itself unprofessional conduct.
A.R.S. §32-1401 · verified Jul 26, 2026
A medical assistant may administer injections and draw specimens only under the “direct supervision” of a physician, PA, or NP — the supervisor present in the same room or office suite.
