MDS LEAP Program October 7-9, 2020 1
Welcome LEAP Class of 2020
Dear LEAP Class of 2020,
Welcome! We look forward to your participation in the LEAP leadership training and
development program. Over the next three days, the program faculty, Carolyn Sue, Shilpa
Chitnis, Susanne Schneider, and I, will provide an introduction to the principles of leadership as
outlined in The Leadership Challenge®. We will guide you through The Five Practices of
Exemplary Leadership®: 1. MODEL the Way, 2. INSPIRE a Shared Vision, 3. CHALLENGE
the Process, 4. ENABLE Others to Act, and 5. ENCOURAGE the Heart. We hope the assigned
pre-course activities have helped to prepare you for the training program.
This intensive training session will provide a foundation for your development as the next
generation of leaders in the field of Movement Disorders. Participation in the LEAP Leadership
Training Program is intended to accelerate your leadership development by increasing self-
awareness, self-discipline, and confidence and providing a broader perspective on professional
development and interaction.
We hope you enjoy the program and look forward to experiencing your leadership development
as you emerge into a more active role in the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder
Society.

Shaimaa El-Jaafary, MD Cairo University
Cairo, Egypt
I'm Shaimaa El-Jaafary, associate professor of Neurology & movement disorders
specialist at Cairo University, Egypt. I was graduated from the Faculty of Medicine
Cairo University. I obtained my master's and MD degrees in Neurology from the
same University. I've joined MDS in 2015, as an active member, I joined the MDS-
Middle East task force in 2017. I joined the steering committee of the of MDS young
members group in 2019. My main interest is raising awareness about Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease
and dementia, to erase their stigma, helping patients and their family to live better finding the support they
need, I'm also interested neurosonology with its different applications in movement disorders. I'm so much
interested in medical education and keen on engaging medical students in various activities related to
movement disorders, with whom we did a good job in raising awareness about PD among other students &
medical community. I'm working hard to be a future distinguished movement disorders specialist, able to
educate others in my region, and to lead research projects aiming at better characterization of the movement
disorders (genotypic-phenotypic variability in Africa). I like pets and my hobbies are reading, listening to
classic music and playing violin.
Yared Zewde, MD Addis Ababa University

Yared Zenebe grew up in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. He received his medical degree from
Jimma University in 2012. Then he served as a general practitioner and inpatient
director at Ataye Hospital for two years. Following this, he joined the Department of
Neurology at Addis Ababa University as a faculty and completed his neurology
residency in 2017 with distinction. Since then he is working as an Assistant Professor
at the Department of Neurology, College of Health Sciences, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. His
professional interest is to continue his fellowship training in movement disorders and advance the clinical care
of Ethiopian movement disorders patients, where there is a dearth of such specialist. He has a keen research
interest in movement disorders, epilepsy, and stroke. Currently, he is conducting clinical research to
understand the non-motor features of PD in Ethiopian patients and the perception of PD patients and their
caregivers toward the illness. Also, he leads the Ethiopian section of the International Parkinson's Disease
Genomic Consortium (IPDGC) - Africa study, to explore the genetic risk loci among Ethiopian PD patients.
Besides, he is actively participating in teaching and mentoring the young Ethiopian neurologists. Yared's

Kai-Hsiang Chen, MD
National Taiwan University Hospital
Taipei, Taiwan
My name is Kai-Hsiang Stanley Chen, I come from Taiwan and grow up in
Taichung, a beautiful city always full of sunshine and energy. I received medical
education in Taipei medical university and completed neurologist residency
training in National Taiwan University Hospital. After then, I learned how to
conduct and program DBS for two years and built a comprehensive DBS team
with my neurosurgeon colleague in my currently worked hospital in Hsin-chu. At
the same time, I learned transcranial magnetic stimulation techniques from professor Ying-Zu Huang and
conducted some interesting TMS studies together. To strengthen my knowledge in electrophysiology, I started
my one-year-fellowship supervised by professor Robert Chen from 2018 to 2019 in Krembil institute, Toronto.
In Dr. Chen's lab, luckily, I got the opportunity to learn my third neuromodulation skill with manipulating
focused ultrasound effect on human motor cortex. My professional practices are electrophysiology and both
invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation in movement disorders. Constantly searching for the answers to
abnormal motor control circuits is like the endless enthusiasm in my career. My personal interest is outdoor
activity, including basketball, swimming, jogging, and I also have some experience in indoor parkour or indoor
rock climbing..

Participants from European Section (MDS-ES)
Conor Fearon, BE MB PhD Toronto Western Hospital
Toronto, ON, Canada
I am a graduate in engineering and medicine from University College Dublin,
Ireland. I subsequently undertook my neurology residency at the Royal College of
Physicians of Ireland. I completed my PhD at Trinity College Dublin which
focused on understanding the mechanisms that underpin freezing of gait in
Parkinson disease. I have always enjoyed the diagnostic challenge of movement
disorders, as well as the close relationship one develops with patients. I am currently an Edmond J. Safra
fellow in movement disorders at Toronto Western Hospital under the mentorship of Prof. Anthony Lang.
Coming from a technical background, I am particularly interested in how technology can be used to greater
understand and treat Parkinson disease and other movement disorders. Although early in my career, the MDS
LEAP program is a remarkable opportunity for me to develop the leadership skills necessary to become an
advocate for advancing clinical care and critical research in movement disorders as well as to learn from a
global network of leaders within the International Parkinson and Movement Disorders Society. I am looking
forward to becoming more involved in the society and using the skills obtained in this program to help patients
with movement disorders around the world.
