Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs) receive training in addressing the needs of individuals that have experienced sexual assault. SANEs are prepared to provide both trauma-informed medical care and evidence collection. Training includes learning to approach survivors with empathy and empowerment while gathering information that informs their care and possibly an investigation. If a SANE pursues International Association of Forensic Nursing SANE certification, this training will cover the didactic SANE course requirement.
Montana SANE Trainers will use a Hybrid Training Model:
- 40 Hours: Didactic Training (Virtual) Registration Open.
- 16 Hours: Clinical Training (choose from 4 sites)
- Kalispell: May 6-7 SITE FULL
