Medical Forensic Exams

Contact the Survivor Advocacy Program or SACASA for information related to evidence collection. Currently, students can receive a medical forensic exam at either Tucson Medical Center or Banner University Medical Center. Evidence should be collected ASAP after an assault, preferably within 72 hours and can be collected up to 120 hours after the assault. 

Medical Forensic Exam Information

Is my appointment confidential? 

Oasis is a confidential space on campus. We are not required to report details of gender-based violence to the university or to law enforcement.

While all interactions with CAPS and Oasis are confidential, there are certain limitations where we would have to break confidentiality:

  • any abuse to children or to the elderly
  • immediate and serious danger to self or to others
  • court order issued by a judge

Is what I'm feeling normal? 

Experiencing trauma can impact all aspects of your emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing. It's normal to feel a range of physical, emotional, cognitive, and behavioral reactions both during and after a trauma. For more information on symptoms and reactions to trauma, please see the Oasis Resources page. [LINK COMING SOON]

I WAS ASSAULTED/ABUSED, WHAT DO I DO NOW?

It can be overwhelming to know what to do next. The most important thing to remember is that it is your decision and you get to choose how you would like to proceed. Here's a chart with different options for you. Please reach out to Oasis and the Survivor Advocates for support, we are here for you no matter what you decide.
