Association of Movement Disorder Advanced Practice Providers

What Association of Movement Disorder Advanced Practice Providers does

AMDAPP generates revenue through four streams: recurring annual membership dues providing access to CME courses, webinars, journal clubs, networking, and a job board; one-time CMRD certification exam fees; annual conference registration fees; and tiered corporate sponsorships (Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze) from pharmaceutical and medical device companies including Acadia, Merz Therapeutics, AbbVie, Supernus, Neurocrine, Amneal, Boston Scientific, Rune Labs, and Life with DBS. The go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: acquisition is driven by word-of-mouth among APPs, presence at MDS Congress and ATMRD conferences, and the demonstrated value of certification and CME education. Distribution runs through self-serve membership signup via the Neon CRM portal, in-person annual conferences rotating between cities, regional bootcamps, the self-serve LMS, twice-yearly certification testing, and a podcast. The organization is member-governed with no external institutional funding, led by Executive Director Kelly Papesh and Deputy Director Erin Zinn, and operates through formal affiliation with the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) and PMD Alliance for ACCME-accredited CME delivery.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Regional players

• American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA): US-based patient advocacy and information organization for Parkinson's disease; adjacent rather than directly competitive but collaborates with AMDAPP on awareness and patient access initiatives.

Broad incumbents

• American Academy of Neurology (AAN): The largest US neurology professional society; produces substantial CME and APP-relevant resources and could expand dedicated APP tracks that compete with AMDAPP's niche content and certification offerings.
• International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS): The leading international professional society for movement disorders and the parent affiliate body for AMDAPP; offers overlapping CME, congress, and credentialing infrastructure but serves a broader physician-led audience rather than APPs specifically.
• American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP): National NP membership and continuing-education organization; targets the same Nurse Practitioner segment as AMDAPP at a broader primary-care level and could bundle movement disorder education as a specialty vertical.
• American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA): National PA membership and CME organization; overlaps with AMDAPP on the Physician Assistant segment and competes for PA continuing-education budgets and conference mindshare.
• American Nurses Association (ANA): National professional association representing all nurses, including NPs; provides broader continuing education and could expand specialty-specific content overlapping with AMDAPP's APP-focused CME.

Direct peers

• Parkinson & Movement Disorder Alliance (PMD Alliance): Patient-and-clinician-facing organization in the movement disorder space that already partners with AMDAPP to provide ACCME-accredited CME for the AMDAPP Annual Conference and supports education and advocacy initiatives for the same clinical community.
• Alliance for Treatment of Movement Disorders (ATMRD): Allied-health movement disorder organization where AMDAPP members receive conference discounts; comparable niche allied-health community focused on movement disorder treatment, education, and clinical research.
