A little friendly competition has become one of the traditions of FCOM.

Matthew Mifsud, MD, calls the Resident Academic Bowl one of the highlights of the meeting. Heading into last year’s competition, USF had something to prove after Miami ended its three-year winning streak in 2024. Dr. Mifsud made the message pretty clear: USF was coming back ready. And they did! USF reclaimed the title at FCOM 2025.

The Resident Academic Bowl is always one of the most energetic parts of the meeting, bringing residency programs together for a little competition, a lot of knowledge and plenty of school pride. This year, the rivalry continues at FCOM 2026. A big thank you to John Lanza, MD, for organizing the Bowl each year and making it such a fun part of FCOM.

The word combined has always been an important part of FCOM.

Nathan Nachlas, MD, past Chairman of the Board of ENT and Allergy Associates of Florida and past President of the Network of Florida Otolaryngologists, points to exactly why.

FCOM brings together the Florida Society of Otolaryngology (FSO), Florida Society of Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (FSFPRS), Network of Florida Otolaryngologists (NFO), and MedAudPro in one meeting. That creates a unique opportunity for physicians, medical audiologists, APPs and other members of the ENT care team to learn from one another and better understand what each organization brings to the community.

That collaboration is a big part of what has made FCOM special for 30 years.

Join us for the 30th Annual Florida Combined Otolaryngology Meeting, November 12–15 at Disney’s Grand Floridian.

What makes FCOM valuable is not just what happens in the session rooms. It is the people you meet, the conversations you have and the relationships that continue long after the meeting ends.

For professionals across audiology and ENT, FCOM creates an opportunity to connect with peers, experts and industry partners in one place, share ideas and find new ways to improve patient care. Attendees consistently point to the same things: strong education, a welcoming environment, meaningful networking and professional relationships that can last throughout a career. That combination is what continues to make FCOM such a special meeting.

Join us for the 30th Annual Florida Combined Otolaryngology Meeting, November 12–15 at Disney’s Grand Floridian.
