Your first injector hire is three decisions wearing one job description. It's a clinical quality decision — this person's hands largely define the results your patients get and talk about. It's a compliance decision — their credentialing and your supervision structure determine whether your treatments are being delivered lawfully. And it's a margin decision — injector compensation is one of your largest variable costs, and how you structure it shapes both behavior and economics for years. Most first-time owners hire for the first of those three, choosing whoever interviews well and has the strongest clinical resume, and under-attend to the other two — which are harder and far more expensive to fix after the fact.

This is general education for owners, not legal advice. Credentialing and supervision requirements are state-specific; confirm yours with counsel and your medical director.
