Medical oversight overview
Under Illinois law (225 ILCS 60/54.2), licensed physicians may delegate specific patient care tasks or duties to qualified licensed personnel or trained unlicensed persons within a physician-patient relationship. The statute sets forth clear conditions regarding supervision, training, and scope of practice, including specific requirements for delegating procedures involving light-emitting devices such as non-ablative lasers. Patients and operators should verify that all medical spa procedures comply with statutory delegation standards and that supervising physicians or qualified practitioners remain readily available.
