INCREASE THE SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION OF SANE’S BY RECRUITING QUALIFIED RN’S AND APRN’S FROM RURAL AND MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AREAS WHO ARE QUALIFIED TO PARTICIPATE IN SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER TRAINING AND SIT FOR CERTIFICATION. 2. EXPAND ACCESS TO TRAINING BY ENHANCING PARTNERSHIPS WITH CURRENT AGENCIES AND ESTABLISHING NEW PARTNERSHIPS TO ASSIST WITH IMPLEMENTATION OF A PLAN THAT WOULD PROVIDE PARTICIPANTS WITH VARIOUS BACKGROUNDS AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS WITH DIDACTIC TRAINING, CLINICAL SKILLS PRACTICE OPPORTUNITIES, PRECEPTORSHIPS, CLINICAL MONITORING, AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION. 3. CULTIVATE A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE THAT IMPROVES TRAINING AND RETENTION OF SANE’S IN THE WORKFORCE, PARTICULARLY IN MEDICALLY UNDERSERVED AND RURAL COMMUNITIES, BY PROVIDING MENTORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES, CONTINUING EDUCATION, SIMULATED REFRESHER EXAMS, AND INNOVATIVE TRAINING.
