MFC - Committee Purpose + Goal
The Medical Forensic Committee (MFC) brings together multidisciplinary partners to strengthen and standardize Oregon’s medical-forensic response to sexual assault. The MFC works collaboratively to support trauma-informed clinical practice, statewide alignment, and continuous quality improvement across stakeholders and partners.
The committee focuses on system-level issues affecting the quality, accessibility, and consistency of medical-forensic care for survivors, while also identifying opportunities to support providers statewide through education, resource development, and cross-discipline coordination.

Pediatric MFC
Pediatric Medical-Forensic Subcommittee (P-MFC) is a group branching from the Medical Forensic Committee (MFC), which works to develop an effective medical response to and standardize the care of sexual assault survivors across the state. The P-MFC recognizes the unique developmental, clinical, and system needs involved in pediatric medical-forensic care and works to strengthen coordination among CACs, hospitals, SANEs, and multidisciplinary partners.
The subcommittee focuses on statewide gaps in pediatric access, supports developmentally appropriate practice standards, and advances efforts to ensure safe, competent care for children and teens across Oregon’s diverse communities.
