Registration form link: March 26, 2021 Training: A SANE Approach to Prosecuting SA Cases |
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) provide extensive medical, psychological, and forensic services for patients who present following sexual assault. Although SANEs strive to effectively coordinate with law enforcement, prosecution, and advocacy partners, the role of the SANE is by definition an independent and objective one, with priorities defined by the needs of the individual patient, rather than the investigation of the reported sexual assault. This concept of the SANE as a healthcare provider is a critical one.
In order to effectively work with SANEs as experts in sexual assault prosecutions, it is important to understand the role of the SANE in providing care, documenting findings, and collecting evidence during the administration of a forensic exam. This training will focus on the content of a medical forensic examination, strengths and limitations of medical evidence, the use of SANEs as fact and/or expert witnesses and a mock direct examination of a SANE.
