If you have experienced sexual violence or assault, you may request a medical forensic exam without being required to participate in a law enforcement investigation or criminal justice response. A Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) can provide holistic nursing and trauma-informed care to victims of sexual violence and are trained to identify and collect physical evidence. This is important if you think you want to seek legal action. It is vital that a victim obtains medical treatment as soon as possible and does not bathe, shower, douche, or change clothes until given permission by medical personnel. You will not be charged for the cost of the exam.
The College has an agreement with the following provider for the exam:
