Understanding your practice authority and supervision requirements as an NP.
Your ability to perform joint injections independently depends on your state's practice authority laws. In full practice authority states (27+ states), NPs can perform these procedures independently. In reduced practice states, you'll need a collaborative agreement with a physician. In restricted practice states, physician supervision is required. AAOPM training prepares you to practice safely within any regulatory framework.
Work in pain management clinics, orthopedic practices, sports medicine, primary care, or open your own practice in FPA states.
In reduced/restricted states, establish collaborative agreements with physicians. Many pain management and orthopedic practices provide the supervision structure you need.
In full practice authority states, NPs can offer comprehensive pain management services independently and build their own practices.
With physician shortages and an aging population, trained NPs who can perform joint injections are increasingly valuable. Pain management clinics, orthopedic practices, and primary care offices actively seek NPs with procedural skills to help meet patient demand for these services.
By performing joint injections in your practice, you eliminate referral delays and provide faster pain relief. Patients appreciate the convenience of receiving treatment from their trusted NP rather than waiting weeks for specialist appointments. This improves satisfaction and outcomes.
