Oct 29, 2024
The Idaho State Police announced the successful completion of its initiative to train 250 Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners, also known as SANE, a significant achievement in supporting survivors of sexual assault throughout Idaho.
Launched in September 2017, the “SANE250” initiative set out with the goal of training 250 nurses to provide medical forensic examinations, enhancing accessibility to care for sexual assault survivors.
With the dedication of these 251 nurses who have completed the rigorous SANE training program, high-quality medical and forensic support is now available to more survivors all over Idaho.
This milestone underscores Idaho’s commitment to expanding its network of healthcare professionals trained to respond to sexual violence, thereby reducing the distance and time survivors need to travel for essential services.
