Aloha from Hawai‘i!
We had such a wonderful time at MDS in beautiful Hawai‘i, and it was truly a blessing to connect face-to-face with so many of our incredible colleagues!
Several of our members proudly presented posters — including Pam Zeilman, who shared her work on “Leveraging Duty-Based Cycles for DBS,” and our fearless leader Kelly Papesh, who presented on Empathy in Action for HCPs. We are so proud of everyone who showcased their projects and represented our community so well!
Our new International Working Group also met in person for the very first time, alongside our larger Allied Health group, as we began preparing for our upcoming November webinar.
One of the highlights of the week was our sunset cruise — an evening full of laughter, great food, and even better company (rain delay and all!).
We also held our Round Table Meeting with sponsors, where we celebrated our many accomplishments this year, including:
- Launching our CME platform
- Upgrading our website
- Forming our International MDS Working Group
- Hosting our annual CME conference
- Growing our membership
- Successfully launching the Movement Disorders Certification, with two testing cycles completed
We’ve come such a long way in a short time — and none of it would be possible without the support, ideas, and dedication of our amazing members. Your passion and willingness to contribute continue to drive our growth and success.
As we wrap up summer and head into the holiday season, we want to say mahalo for everything you do. Please reach out if you’d like to get more involved or share your ideas for AMDAPP’s future. Together, we’ll keep moving forward!
