Step into a career that saves lives. The UVI MSC EMT Training Program offers a dynamic, hands-on learning experience using state-of-the-art simulation technology. Designed to prepare future emergency responders with real-world skills, this 12-week course combines classroom instruction with immersive simulation-based education to build confidence, competence, and readiness.
The SANE Simulation & Skills Training at the UVI Medical Simulation Center prepares nurses to provide trauma‑informed, evidence‑based care to survivors of sexual assault. This multitrack program combines required online pre-course work with options for didactic-only, hybrid, or fully in-person learning so participants can choose the format that best fits their needs. Through high‑fidelity simulation, multidisciplinary medicolegal training, and expert faculty guidance, learners build competence in medical‑forensic assessment, evidence collection, documentation, and collaboration with law enforcement and advocacy partners. Participants earn continuing education credit and develop a clear pathway toward forensic nursing and SANE practice in the U.S. Virgin Islands and the broader Caribbean region.
Location: UVI Medical Simulation Center, Albert A. Sheen Campus
All participants complete required online pre‑course work (opens May 1, 2026) to build a strong SANE and forensic nursing foundation before live sessions begin.
Track A – Online‑Only (Didactic Education) – $235
Self‑paced online modules covering core SANE and forensic nursing concepts for learners
who need flexible access to theory only. No live skills training or simulation is
included in this option.
Track B – Online Didactic + Day 1 Multidisciplinary Session – $250
Complete the online coursework, then join the live Day 1 multidisciplinary medicolegal
training focused on team‑based response, documentation, and collaboration with law
enforcement, advocacy, and legal partners. No skills or simulation labs are included
in this track.
Track C – Hybrid Track (Online + Days 1, 2 & 3) – $425
Combine online didactic content, the Day 1 multidisciplinary session, and two additional
in‑person days of high‑fidelity skills and simulation. This track is designed for
nurses seeking a full SANE training experience with both theory and hands‑on practice.
Track D – Full In‑Person Track (Days 1, 2 & 3) - $485
For participants who prefer a fully in‑person experience. Includes the Day 1 multidisciplinary
session plus two intensive days of clinical skills and simulation. *Discounted pricing
is available for CNO/CSA members and for organizations sending groups of 10 or more.
Track E – Skills‑Only Option (Days 2 & 3 In‑Person)
For clinicians who already have foundational didactic education and want to focus
on hands‑on simulation. Includes required online pre‑course work plus in‑person skills
and simulation on Days 2 and 3. Interprofessional training omitted.
*The CNO/CSA member rate reflects the standalone cost of simulation‑based training while still providing a preferred partner discount.
