    Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Education
    Conducted by Linda E. Ledray, PhD, RN, SANE-A, FAAN

    This forty-hour didactic training course covers “everything” the RN or MD needs to know to conduct an effective sexual assault examination and work as a member of a Sexual Assault Response Team (SART). It also meets the didactic training requirements of the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN) to sit for their international certification examination.

    Presented by one of the leading SANE researchers and educators the information included is evidence-based, up-to-date, comprehensive, and yet presented in a manageable format. Nurses who have participated in this program have indicated it was one of the most exciting courses they have attended; when they finished the course, they felt ready to complete the clinical component

    SANE-SART WEBSITE IMPROVEMENTS E-mail Article To a Friend View Printable Version

    General News
    Thank you for your patience as we moved our website to a new server in an effort to continue providing timely and pertinent information to SANEs and SART teams around the country. The move has now been completed.

    IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USERS UPLOADING DATA TO THE SANE-SART DATA BASE:

    We are continuing to experience a technical difficulty with the SANE data tool that allows our users to upload cases to our website. We have now determined that extensive programming will be required to make the SANE data tool operable. Unfortunately, it will require funding to accomplish this task. The SARS office has applied for a grant to facilitate this. We hope that the national database will be operational again this fall. When the SANE data tool is working properly, we will post it on the website. Thank you again for your patience.

    Until then, we hope that you will catalogue your sexual assault data to enter in the national data base late this fall. If you choose to suspend entering data at this point and just resume entering new cases this fall, we certainly understand. In the mean time, you will continue to have access to the aggregate data entered up to the point when the data was transferred to the new server in May. While the date shown when you pull a report displays the current date, you will see that the total number of cases entered into the database is frozen at 8,388 cases.

    If your agency has loaded over 100 sexual assault cases, your local aggregate data reports will be frozen at the total number of cases entered.

    Once the SANE data tool has been reprogrammed, we hope to revise the form utilized for data entry to make the form more user-friendly as well as incorporating suggestions made as to the type of data you would like to see included.

    Please notify us by e-mail if you have further suggestions for data that you collect that is not currently included on our "Client Data Sheet" and/or on the aggregate data reports. The e-mail address is admin@sartconference.com

    General News

    With the addition of the Rhode Island program operating out of the Women and Infants Hospital, all fifty U.S. states now have at least one operating SANE program. The Rhode Island SANE program was started by Lu Force, RN, Donna LaFontaine, MD, and Susan Duffy, MD, with significant support from the RI State Attorney General, Patrick Lynch.

    The Rhode Island program began providing service in February of 2006 . They currently have 14 SANE trained nurses performing exams, and they expect to see approximately 100 victims a year.
