The COSMO Conference brings together physicians, researchers, patient advocates, healthcare leaders, and communication experts to address one of the most urgent challenges in cancer care today: misinformation and trust in the digital space.

The Collaboration for Outcomes Using Social Media in Oncology (COSMO): A Women in Medicine® VERITAS Initiative focuses on helping oncology professionals lead online with integrity, empathy, and evidence—so patients and communities have access to credible, science-driven cancer information when it matters most.

The way people learn about their health has changed. Nearly 70% of patients turn to the internet first when they have a medical question, and in cancer care, that number is even higher. But health misinformation spreads fast, and patients can struggle to separate data-driven information from anecdotal stories or “miracle cure” claims. Our program exists to close the gap between high trust in clinicians and low clinician presence online, empowering healthcare professionals to show up as trusted voices in digital cancer communication. Women in medicine are uniquely positioned to lead that charge, and through COSMO, WIM is committed to elevating women digital opinion leaders whose influence is grounded in science, not sponsorship.
