Registration for the Winter 2023 session will be open from December 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023.

Medical Training Academy: Pediatric/Adolescent Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner is an interactive, self-paced set of online lessons designed to help the PSANE correctly identify child sexual abuse as well as child physical abuse injuries. This course focuses on the holistic treatment of the child, building on the strengths of foundational nursing education to enable the PSANE to obtain and document a patient history and physical examination, to recognize and document child abuse injuries, and to implement a treatment and discharge plan incorporating nursing diagnosis. Interactive lessons and case studies build the essential skills and knowledge that PSANE providers will need to confidently navigate real world situations. Course lessons and specific topics are outlined below.

NOTE: If you are a nurse who is planning on taking Medical Training Academy: Pediatric/Adolescent Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner Course (PSANE), please be aware that you MUST take the PSANE course prior to the general MTA course in order to meet IAFN rules. According to IAFN, a pediatric/adolescent SANE course must be at least 40 consecutive hours of required content. Because both courses share some content, if you take the general MTA course prior to the PSANE course, you would not be able to count the duplicative content and therefore, any duplicative content would be considered null for ANCC credit and for counting towards your 40 hours of required SANE content. For further questions, please contact Kim Martinez at kim.martinez@childrensmn.org.

No refunds can be granted once you begin the course.
