“The program itself is tailored to help us complete it. Most of the program is a didactic online. We do a lot of the training person-to-person, but it’s around the schedule that we work on, so it’s very flexible.”

Achievements Years 1-3
The TAMIU-SANE Program recently wrapped up its third year of the Adult & Adolescent Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program. We are happy to report a 3 Year Continuation Grant funding from Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) focused on Pediatric SANE Certification and CA-SANE Recertification. We find it especially important to take time to reflect and celebrate. Here is an overview of the nurses trained and certified, and achievement highlights over the past 3 years.
A sincere thank you to all our program partners and collaborators supporting the TAMIU-SANE Program. Our program is only successful with your interest and commitment to this work.
