MONTHLY PEER REVIEW ONLINE
FOR SANE/SAFE ADULT
MEDICAL FORENSIC EXAMS
A Premier Peer Review for Adult Medical Forensic Exams, created by SANEs for SANEs.
PRO/SANE, Mosaic Georgia’s monthly online peer review, is NOW AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE.
The work of a Sexual Assault Nurse/Forensic Examiner (SANE/SAFE) is important to a community’s Sexual Assault Response Team. The practice requires skill in providing care for patients who experienced trauma, gathering medical history along with evidence for possible criminal investigations. Opportunities for peer review and support are limited, particularly in communities with part-time SANE practitioners.
Mosaic Georgia now offers monthly Peer Review Online sessions for Adult/Adolescent Forensic Medical Exams (FME). Peer Review Online (PRO) enables Sexual Assault Nurse/Forensic Examiners (SANE/SAFE) to present a case and discuss interpretation of findings, complications with the process, review documentation, request and provide feedback.
Peer Reviews are moderated by experienced SANEs to foster an environment of shared learning and skill-building. The PRO/SANE program will utilize Zoom, a HIPAA-compliant web-conferencing platform. Our online peer reviews are offered every 3rd Wednesday of each month at 12:30pm ET.
Who can join Peer Review Online?
Sexual Assault Centers with a forensic medical practice and hospital-based sexual assault forensic medical programs may join after completing the registration form and confidentiality agreement and payment of the annual fee.

Testimonials
PRO/SANE offers engaging and informative case reviews. What stands out is not only the information from the case reviews and success stories, but you learn hearing from other SANEs on what should have been done that maybe wasn’t or what could have been done differently with the forensic medical exam. I have learned new tools for assessing my patients and documenting my findings by participating in PRO/SANE case reviews each month. These sessions are always very friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend PRO/SANE Online Case Peer Review for both the novice and the expert SANE.
-Denise
Mosaic Georgia’s PRO/SANE Peer Review has been a great resource for me as a new SANE nurse. Listening to other SANEs present cases has been a great learning experience for me. Also presenting my own case provided an opportunity for me to receive constructive criticism by other nurses who may have taken a different approach on a case. I have been a part of PRO/SANE for the past year and I’m looking forward to the next year of learning.
-Sydney
This year being involved with PRO/SANE has been very beneficial in regard to having other SANEs in my state help me troubleshoot cases that I have experienced in my center. Also, having other presenters provides the opportunity to have more experience with cases that you may come upon in the future. All the SANEs have different knowledge of laws and experience and I look forward to this peer review every month.
