The 40-hour Adult/Adolescent SANE Training is geared toward medical professionals: APRNs, RNs, physician assistants and physicians and is an approved International Association of Forensic Nurses course which adheres to the National Training Standards for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examiners for adults and adolescents. Upon completion, the medical professional will have a clear understanding of the principles of trauma informed care and evidence collection to provide medical forensic exams to adults and adolescents that experience a sexual assault.
