AMDAPP ® had an incredible time at this year’s Aspen Course, with more than 15 APPs joining us for a week of learning, connection, and community. It was a fantastic opportunity to meet new faces, exchange ideas, and deepen our collective knowledge around movement disorders. The conference content was truly outstanding—rich with insights, practical tools, and relevant updates for APPs at all stages of their careers. We left each session feeling more empowered and connected to the broader movement disorder community. Of course, it wouldn’t be an AMDAPP experience without a bit of fun woven in! Our APP outing included a scenic gondola ride and a relaxing mountaintop lunch—offering the perfect backdrop to unwind and build new friendships. We’re returning home refreshed, inspired, and more committed than ever to supporting APPs in movement disorders. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Aspen—we can’t wait to see you again soon!

Our 2nd Annual Meeting & Retreat on the eve of ATMRD marked a pivotal moment – the first anniversary of AMDAPP. This gathering felt profoundly special, a stark contrast from the previous year. The narrative had shifted. The vision of delivering quality care to those living with movement disorders, & seeing APPs valued and fully utilized, no longer felt like a distant dream. It had become a tangible reality. To commemorate this milestone, this special issue is dedicated to our first anniversary, blending reflections on our past with hopeful visions for our future.

Together we celebrated the successes of all the APPs as we move toward a day where all persons with movement disorders receive the care they deserve and need, and the support and knowledge to do so.
