New Mexico SANE Coordinators Task Force

The vision of the New Mexico SANE Coordinators Task Force is to have those affected by sexual violence receive consistent and quality medical treatment and forensic service from providers who meet the fundamental qualifications and training required in the state of New Mexico. It is our belief that the services provided by trained, experienced SANE practitioners help preserve the sexual assault victim’s dignity, enhance medical evidence collection for improved prosecution, and promote community involvement and concern with the crime of sexual assault.

The mission of the Statewide SANE Task Force is to continue to recommend the minimal qualifications for forensic nursing practice and to establish the fundamental components of the SANE training that will encompass and serve the geographic and cultural diversity of New Mexico. These qualifications and guidelines adhere to the standards set forth by the New Mexico Board of Nurse Examiners, the International Association of Forensic Nursing, and the Office for Victims of Crime.

Among the SANE programs in New Mexico, we agree to collaborate and share resources, technical assistance, skilled knowledge, and consultation.
