The Prosecuting Attorney Association of Michigan’s Violence Against Women Project will present “Understanding the SANE Exam/Strangulation Assessment & Effectively Using the SANE in Trial” on Wednesday, April 8, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Avalon Healing Center, 601 Bagley St. in Detroit.
As more jurisdictions around the state are utilizing Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs, SANE testimony is becoming an integral part of adolescent and adult sexual assault cases. This training will focus on understanding medical-forensic examinations and strangulation assessments for the adolescent and adult patient. Kimberly Hurst PA-C, founder, and executive director of Avalon Healing Center in Detroit will be presenting on the topic.
The training will also cover qualifying a SANE as an expert, how to effectively use a SANE on direct examination/re-direct and using a SANE exam as corroborating evidence in your case-in-chief. This training will be interactive and time will be allotted for discussion, questions, and practice direct from volunteers.
This training satisfies 6.5 hours of continuing legal education for purposes of PAAM’s Best Practices Recommendations.
To register for the free program, prosecutors should visit https://michiganprosecutor.org and click on “Training Calendar.” Registration will close at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31.
