Register for Sexual Assault Patient Care Training

There are two upcoming opportunities to take the Foundation to Provide Sexual Assault Patient Care in the Emergency Room training session, hosted by the Illinois Attorney General. The first will be held on Thursday, July 11, 2024, and the second will be held on Thursday, Aug. 15, 2024. Both four-hour trainings will be provided via Zoom from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. 

This training is designed for nurses, advance practice providers, physicians, law enforcement, advocates and first responders. The training is designed to improve response to sexual assault patients, providing an overview of sexual assault laws and related information such as the Sexual Assault Survivors Emergency Treatment Act (SASETA), neurobiology of trauma, drug-facilitated sexual assault, strangulation and the medical forensic exam. This training does not count toward training hours to become a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner or a Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner.

Interested attendees can register for the July 11 training here, and the Aug. 15 training here. Interested parties are encouraged to register early. Once you are registered, you will receive log-in information via email.
