Sexual Assault  Examinations provide direct care to child and adult victims of sexual abuse and assault. The exams are performed by trained Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANEs).

​

The Sexual Assault Examination enables a specially trained nurse to check on the physical well-being of a client. It also ensures the documentation, collection, and preservation of possible physical and forensic evidence that may be present on the client’s body or clothing using a Sexual Assault Evidence Collection Kit.
