Successful Delegation Comprehensive training, familiarity with state regulations and patient communication are key to successfully integrating physician extenders. THE DEMAND FOR noninvasive cosmetic procedures continues to grow, outpacing surgical procedures in plastic surgery practices and comprising a high percentage of the work performed in many dermatology practices. Also growing is the number of physicians delegating aesthetic procedures to registered nurses (RNs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs) and estheticians. "From an economic point of view, the use of extenders makes great sense," says Michael H. Gold, MD, medical director, Gold Skin Care Center, Nashville, Tennessee. "Tey are skilled providers who help perform a service to my patients and can help generate income for our practice that has allowed us to greatly expand our level of service and the services we provide." 32 MAY/JUNE 2013 | MedEsthetics © ISTOCKPHOTO.COM By Linda W.
