SANE 

A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) is a registered nurse, R.N., who has advanced education in forensic examination of sexual assault victims.

SANE programs have been operating successfully throughout portions of the United States since 1976.

The basis of a SANE program is the belief that sexual assault victims have the right to immediate, compassionate, and comprehensive medical-legal evaluation and treatment by a specially trained professional. These professionals have the experience to anticipate the needs of the assault victim during a time of crisis. 

The services of trained, experienced SANE practitioners help to preserve the victim's dignity, enhance medical evidence collection and ultimately increase the prosecution of sex offenders, reducing the incidence of rape.

As health care providers, SANE has an ethical responsibility to provide victims with comprehensive information about their choices so they can make informed decisions concerning the care they want to receive.
