Abstract
Our results validated the use of simulation technology and in-house resources for cross-training in a sexual assault forensic examination program, together with a checklist to assess competence in performing examinations independently. Benefits of having a sexual assault forensic examination program in the emergency department are standardized and timely care for victims, as well as enhanced evidence collection and increased reporting and prosecution of crimes.
