Program Information for Adult/Adolescent Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner - Graduate Certificate

Program Description

Full Description

The Adult/Adolescent Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner graduate certificate provides registered nurses the specialized training necessary to be certified as a sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) for adult and adolescent patients. A SANE provides comprehensive care to victims of sexual assault or abuse. In addition, they conduct a forensic examination and may provide expert testimony if a case goes to trial.

Nurses receive their SANE certification through the International Association of Forensic Nurses, Commission on Forensic Nursing Certification. To be certified, nurses with a minimum of two years of full-time experience must have completed a minimum of 40 hours of sexual assault education; worked under the supervision of an expert (e.g., SANE-certified nurse); performed enough sexual assault exams to demonstrate clinical competency; and successfully passed a certification test.

The certificate’s didactic courses will be offered on-ground and online at the Kent Campus, and the practicum experiences will be conducted at the Sexual Assault Evidence Collection and Care Facility of Cleveland Clinic Akron General.
