Kentucky requires 14 contact hours per year. Alternatives to the full 14 hours include 7 hours plus a satisfactory employment evaluation, current national certification, or qualifying academic study. One-time and conditional topics include pediatric abusive head trauma, domestic violence, and suicide prevention. SANE forensic requirements (including 5 hours for SANEs) are conditional on that role.
