AMDAPP Turns 2! Celebrate With Us in This Month’s Newsletter - June 2025

Dear AMDAPP Members,


It’s hard to believe, but we are officially celebrating two incredible years since the founding of our organization, and what a journey it has been!


In this short time, our small but mighty community has grown into a vibrant, nationwide network of Advanced Practice Providers united by our shared commitment to excellence in movement disorders care. Through your passion, involvement, and support, AMDAPP has made remarkable strides in building connections, sharing knowledge, and elevating the role of APPs in this important field.


We’ve seen tremendous membership growth, forged new networking opportunities across the country, and laid a strong foundation for continued collaboration and advancement. Each meetup, webinar, shared resource, discussion thread and of course our conference, is a testament of what amazing things we can achieve together.


As we look ahead, we’re more energized than ever by what the future holds. We have exciting initiatives on the horizon and can’t wait to continue this journey with all of you by our side.


In this issue, you will learn about:

* Our recently launched onboarding education module designed to support and empower new members of our community.

* Upcoming events at ATMRD and MDS in Hawaii

* 2026 Annual Meeting!

* Other exciting upcoming events you won’t want to miss.


Stay tuned as we continue to build momentum and shape the future together!


THANK YOU for being such an essential part of AMDAPP’s story. Your dedication and engagement have made these first two years truly extraordinary, and the best is yet to come.


With Gratitude,


Kelly Papesh, DNP

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!

Whether you were a presenter, participant, exhibitor, volunteer, or a first-time attendee, your involvement was integral to the success of this event. From expert-led sessions to thought-provoking panels and collaborative workshops, the 2025 AMDAPP Conference served as a vibrant platform for learning, connection, and progress.
