Forensic Nurse Exams

The Forensic Nurse Examination Program is a team of nurses with special training in forensic medical care equipped to care for patients of all ages who have experienced violence including: 

• Sexual Assault: Comprehensive assessments to document injuries, collect forensic evidence, and provide post-assault medical care, including testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy prevention.
• Intimate Partner Violence and Strangulation: Detailed examinations to identify visible and non-visible injuries, collect swabs and photos for evidence, and assess for life-threatening complications often missed in initial medical screenings.
• Child Abuse: Trauma-informed medical assessments to identify and document injuries, recognize and evaluate signs of physical or sexual abuse, evaluate for neglect, coordinate care with community resources, and support family members.
