Dr Cosman's practice covers all aspects of upper gastrointestinal and pancreatic surgery, including surgery for cancer of the pancreas, oesophagus, and stomach, surgery for complex gallstone problems and pancreatic diseases, surgery for weight loss, and surgery for gastro-oesophageal reflux and hiatus hernia. He also performs surgery for hernia, emergency surgery, and trauma surgery.
Professor Cosman has also been active in conducting clinical research aimed at improving the diagnosis of cancer, better understanding the nature of gastrointestinal cancers, and providing cancer patients with better treatment options. His research also covers human factors in medicine, patient safety, and surgical education, especially simulation-based methodologies. The outcomes of his research have been published in world-leading medical journals and presented at national and international meetings. He is frequently invited as a speaker at conferences and functions across Australia and around the globe.
His teaching activities include formal and informal teaching activities for medical students, junior doctors and nurses, postgraduate healthcare professionals, specialist surgical trainees, and others. He has held University appointments at the University of New South Wales, the University of Sydney, and now at the University of Western Sydney. He also contributes to the training of surgeons both in the hospital environment and through involvement with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons.
