Procedure-specific surgical training for gynecology residents.
The PROMOTE curriculum — developed by Dr. Roxana Geoffrion — pairs anatomy, peri-operative decision-making, and complete operative technique for vaginal hysterectomy, anterior repair, and posterior repair.
Three procedures, fully modular
Each module pairs anatomy with the exact decision a surgeon faces at the table.

PROMOTE (PROcedure-specific MOdular Training and Evaluation) is an evidence-based, validated curriculum shaped by fifteen years of research into gynecologic surgical education.
Surgical pearls, not just theory
Each anatomical structure comes with the practical pearl a resident needs at the table — where to cut, what to avoid, and why.
Step-by-step operative flow
Complete operative sequences, from OR set-up to closure, broken into clear, sequential actions.
Evidence-based & validated
Developed and refined over fifteen years of research into procedure-specific, modular surgical training for gynecology residency programs.
Published, validated research
PROMOTE is grounded in a published research program spanning 2008–2026, from curriculum design through randomized controlled trial validation. Want the full narrative — the problem, the methodology, the trial results? Read the story of PROMOTE →
