Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examinations

In September of 2004, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) released its National Protocol for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examinations, which provides details on the roles of responders to sexual assault as part of a coordinated community response.

A companion to the Protocol, OVW's National Training Standards for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examiners offers a framework for the specialized education of health care providers who wish to practice as sexual assault forensic examiners. The training standards include recommendations for training objectives and topics that will enable a sexual assault forensic examiner to implement effectively the guidelines and standards outlined by the protocol.
