For APPs By APPs
About AMDAPP
The Association of Movement Disorder Advanced Practice Providers (AMDAPP™) is a professional network built for APPs by APPs in movement disorders to connect, refuel their inspiration, deep dive into further education, and collaborate to advance care for patients. AMDAPP™ is the only network for movement disorder APPs. Based on available data APPs treating persons with movement disorders are more than 30,000 strong.
AMDAPP’s origins began in 2019 when the Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance (PMD Alliance) recognized the need for an organized, collective network to ensure there is support for an essential part of the Movement Disorder Care & Support Ecosystem©. As a first step, the APProvider™ Advisory Board was created to build a continuum of services including an online discussion group, APP-specific continuing medical education (CME) courses, and a first-of-its-kind APP Congress.
Now, as a stand-alone not-for-profit organization, AMDAPP™ believes the APP whole-person, patient-centric approach to care continues to align closely with the philosophies and practices of PMD Alliance. This synergistic relationship will inform, empower, and enrich APPs and their patients for years to come
