Professionals are currently limited in the services and treatments they can provide clients based upon already existing, already defined scopes of practice that often fall well outside of the lines for what clients need to be properly cared for. These treatments, techniques, and services are often NOT taught within the already existing regulated curriculum as professionals technically “shouldn’t be performing them”. Outside of this educational initiative, there are no quality competent checks and balances on the education for these services available for non-licensed healthcare professionals.
There is an allowance of treatments and services based on licensure within the Body Altering Aesthetics industry for professionals that have the ability but lack the education. Surgeons, PTs/OTs, and even some other healthcare professions may have the allowance and ability to perform tasks that clients need after surgery or for nonsurgical body contouring treatments, but without quality accredited education, these professionals wind up taking classes that introduce negligence to client care; opening them up to lawsuits of malpractice and jeopardizing patient safety.
