SANE Legal Training
KASAP offers an online course that covers the laws and regulations in Kentucky governing the Sexual Assault Forensic Evidence (SAFE) Exam, which you can work through at your own pace. This course is to help you complete the required Kentucky legal foundation to receive the SANE A/A certification. It may be an accompaniment to the International Association of Forensic Nurses SANE certification program, or you may have recently moved to KY with another SANE certification, but this course is open to anyone interested in the topic, including advocates.
This course, delivered by Laela Kashan, JD, will introduce you to Kentucky's laws and policies relevant to the SAFE and related topics. To enroll in the Kentucky Legal Training for SANE A/A Certification course, please fill out this form:
