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.

Kind regards,

Cairo, Egypt

[email protected]

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

hobbies are outdoor activities like hiking, biking, and traveling.

National Taiwan University Hospital

Taipei, Taiwan

[email protected]

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..

my wife, a native Sydney-sider who is a consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist.

I have been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of

Neurogenetics at the Kolling Institute, University of Sydney and Royal North Shore Hospital, since moving to

Australia. I am the President elect of the Australian Society for Medical Research and serve on the MDS Web-

based learning sub-committee. My work focusses on bridging basic and clinical research of mitochondrial

diseases and Parkinson's disease (PD). My current research includes investigating the microbiome in

Parkinson's disease and mitochondrial diseases, the genomics of mitochondrial diseases, genetic mechanisms

in early-onset Parkinson's disease and metabolomics for mitochondrial disease diagnosis. My research aims to

translate findings into the clinic for better patient outcomes. I spend my "spare time" with my sons, Patrick

(aged 2) and Thomas (aged 5). They enjoy going to playgrounds and the beach and I enjoy watching Tom play

rugby.

Conor Fearon, BE MB PhD Toronto Western Hospital

Toronto, ON, Canada

[email protected]

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.
