"With 90,000 people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease annually and a shortage of movement disorder specialists, APPs are bridging a critical gap in care," added Sherrie Gould, NP-C, Certification Chair. "The CMRD certification not only validates their expertise but also raises their visibility within the healthcare community and among the patients they serve. It's a pivotal step toward empowering providers and ensuring patients receive confident, capable care."
