Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Course

Danville, PA US
February 22, 2024 to March 22, 2024

Program Description 

This is a Live Educational Activity. 

In order to provide a robust call schedule of Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (SAFEs), Geisinger offers training for nurses and providers to provide forensic examination services to patients who present to Geisinger Emergency Departments (EDs) who have been sexually assaulted or a victim of physical violence. Goal is to have 24/7 coverage, 365 days per year to ease the burden on ED nurses as these forensic exams take multiple hours to perform, reducing coverage on the floor to care for other patients. The examination process, when performed by a trained SANE nurse, creates a better patient experience.
