Using on line modules, a nationally developed virtual SANE DVD and classroom time, this course will provide the basic didactic and clinical information to begin the process of becoming a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) for adolescent and adult vic ms. The training includes presentations from SANE nurses, local law enforcement, district attorney’s office, advocates and therapists working with vic ms of sexual assault and rape. Practical experience with a focus on assessment and photo-documentation of injury is a primary objective of this course.
