Missouri’s collaborative practice rules mean many NP preceptors work closely with physicians, so team-based practices are a natural fit for students.

Missouri NP practice environment

Missouri is classified as a restricted practice state by AANP, which means NPs need physician supervision, delegation or team management for at least one element of practice. Missouri NPs practice under a collaborative practice arrangement with a physician, which includes rules on chart review and geographic proximity.

Practice laws change often. Confirm current rules with the Missouri State Board of Nursing and AANP’s State Practice Environment map.
