In Winnipeg the Medical Director for a nurse-led injectables practice is usually a Nurse Practitioner. Manitoba's physician college does not allow a physician to direct a clinic they do not practise in, so a nurse injector without a physician in the building needs an NP as the authorizing prescriber. Plus One MD introduces Winnipeg practices to verified NPs and physicians, and NPs are who we are short of.
The two ways a Winnipeg practice is set up
| Your situation | Who can be your Medical Director |
|---|---|
| A solo or mobile nurse injector, or a med spa with no physician working in it | A Nurse Practitioner registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba, who can work remotely |
| A clinic where a physician actually practises | That physician, or a Nurse Practitioner |
Either way, every client needs a genuine assessment and their own order. The full picture for the province is on Medical Directors in Manitoba.
Winnipeg Nurse Practitioners: you are the missing piece
Most provinces can fill this role with physicians working remotely. Manitoba cannot, which means the number of practices that can open in Winnipeg depends on the number of NPs willing to provide medical direction. If you are an NP with experience or training in aesthetics, or the interest to get it, this is work only you can do here.
It is real clinical work: assessing each client, writing client-specific orders, keeping protocols current, reviewing charts and being reachable for complications. You decide how many practices you take on and which treatments you are willing to oversee, and you can decline any practice we introduce.

Winnipeg physicians
You can be the Medical Director of a clinic you practise in. If you already work from an aesthetic clinic, or would be willing to, tell us: some Winnipeg practices are looking for exactly that arrangement.
Brandon, Steinbach and the rest of Manitoba
Winnipeg is where most of Manitoba lives, and it is the natural base for a director. The rest of the province is spread thin: Steinbach and Selkirk within an hour, Winkler and Morden about an hour and a half south, Brandon about two hours west. Because an NP can be the prescriber without being on the premises, a Winnipeg NP is often the only realistic director for those practices. Tell us how far you are willing to travel if a practice wants to meet in person.

We are still onboarding directors in Manitoba, so a request sent now means you are known to each NP as they join. And if you know an NP who might be willing, introduce them: in this province, one NP can be the difference for several practices.

I am an NP or physician I need a Medical DirectorWinnipeg questions
How do I find a Medical Director in Winnipeg?
Send one request to Plus One MD. We introduce Winnipeg nurse injectors and med spas to verified Nurse Practitioners and physicians whose scope fits what you offer. It is free for injectors.
Can a Nurse Practitioner be a Medical Director in Winnipeg?
Yes. A Nurse Practitioner registered with the College of Registered Nurses of Manitoba can be the authorizing prescriber for an aesthetic nursing practice, within their scope and competence, and does not have to be on the premises.
Can a doctor be my Medical Director in Manitoba?
Yes, if the physician practises in your clinic. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Manitoba does not allow a physician to be Medical Director of a clinic they do not practise in, so a remote arrangement runs through a Nurse Practitioner.
Can a Winnipeg NP direct a practice in Brandon or Steinbach?
Yes. An NP registered in Manitoba can be the authorizing prescriber for a practice elsewhere in the province, provided every client is genuinely assessed and has a client-specific order.
