What is COSM?
Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings (COSM) is the premier educational and technology forum for providing the subspecialties in Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery with an opportunity to improve and expand their knowledge and skills thereby enhancing the quality of patient care. COSM membership consists of 9 Societies, Otolaryngology residents in training, medical students and allied health professionals. The Societies meet over the course of the week, with only two or three societies meeting per day. Therefore, you can expect a flow of traffic throughout the week in the exhibit hall rather than a rush of all the attendees at once.
COSM attracts over 2,000 attendees from the United States and International Countries. COSM offers educational sessions, poster presentations and panel discussions presented by various Societies.
