Adolescent/Adult Web Based SAFE Training and Clinical Workshop

Can I tell you how long I have been waiting to get to post this? It is with great excitement that I can announce IAFN’s free adolescent/adult web-based SAFE training and clinical workshop (clinical workshop, people! How amazing is that?). Full details after the jump.

Adolescent/Adult Web Based SAFE Training and Clinical Workshop

Through a grant from the National Institute of Justice, IAFN has developed an adolescent/adult, web-based Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) training curriculum that will be offered through a series of web based and clinical modules completed over a 15 week period of time.  The 40 hour didactic training will be followed by a two day, 16 hour clinical skills workshop.  The course will be offered four times between 2011 and 2012, allowing for a maximum of 75 clinicians per training.  Overall this project will train 300 clinicians.  The entire training will be offered at no cost to the participants.

Training Schedule

Course 1:  September 12 through December 15, 2011

Course 2:  January 9 through April 14, 2012

Course 3:  April 23 through July 31, 2012

Course 4:  August 13 through November 30, 2012

Target Audience:

Registered Nurses, Advanced Practice Nurses, Physician Assistants and Physicians who have not completed any SANE/SAFE training, particularly those serving rural and tribal communities with limited or no access to SAFE services.
