Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program, MeritCare Health System:"What is SANE?
SANE stands for sexual assault nurse examiner. SANEs are registered nurses who have received specialized training to examine victims of sexual assault.
How does the SANE program work? When victims of sexual assault first arrive at MeritCare's Emergency Center (EC), a triage nurse will check vital signs and ask some simple questions about the person's immediate needs. If there are urgent injuries, one of MeritCare's Emergency Center doctors will examine and treat those injuries. The on-call SANE will be contacted and will respond in a short amount of time.
SANEs care for sexual assault victims that are ages 13 and older. Younger children will be referred to a pediatrician."

Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Program - Ontario Network of Sexual Assault Care and Treatment Centres (Canada):"The Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner program began in October 1995 with the training of 25 nurses from across Ontario. As of March 2000, over 300 nurses have completed the 40 hour training program. The SANE program developed out of experience learned in the United States for the provision of care for sexual assault survivors. A provincial training program has been developed which enables the nurse to provide the emergency care to the victim/survivor independent of a physician unless medical care is warranted. The intent of the program is to increase the continuity of care for the client, decrease the length of time for the client in the service and to increase utilization of professionals. The cost of providing service to the client is also decreased as physician OHIP billings are reduced."
