Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Programs provide medical/forensic exams for individuals who have been sexually assaulted. SANE services include a physical assessment, emergency contraception, injury documentation, forensic photography, and evidence collection up to five days after the sexual assault. SANE Programs offer medication for sexually transmitted infections (STI) up to 30 days after the assault. Services are available 24 hours a day, provided at no cost, and are confidential. No ID is required. Individuals can receive a SANE exam without filing a police report. Each SANE Program has a designated Coordinator who is active with their community co-responders and are available to assist with problems, questions, or presentations.
To schedule a medical/forensic examination, please contact the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) program nearest you.
Once a nurse is hired by an NMCSAP-approved SANE agency (see list of NM SANE programs here), the nurse completes NMCSAP’s 41.25-hour SANE Training, followed by clinical skills training through NMCSAP’s Clinical Skills Lab, plus precepting with the SANE agency of hire.
For more information, contact the Statewide SANE Director here.
