This annual event is sponsored by the GCSS and takes place each fall on various chiropractic college campuses. The purpose of the Meeting of the Minds is to create a forum for a serious discussion about specific aspects of the Gonstead System. Each year the meeting has a different topic with guest presenters, speakers, panels, and research updates. The formal meeting convenes Saturday through Sunday, with several doctor/student activities scheduled on Friday afternoon and evening.

Who Can Attend

Every year, doctors from several generations attend and teach while students become sponge-like absorbing all the great Gonstead class offerings. Unlike other seminars, attendees pick and choose which classes to attend. Moving from one class to the next or repeating a particular subject puts you in control of your learning.

Mark your calendars now and plan to attend this outstanding event. We dare say it is one of the best Gonstead gatherings each year. Half of all proceeds from the Extravaganza go directly to the research fund. The GCSS Board of Directors donate their time and talents for this event paying their own travel and lodging expenses.

There will be Diplomate testing on Friday & Saturday. Today is the perfect day to put your Diplomate Application Packet in order and submit it to the home office. Additional information about the program is available on Diplomate page on this site. Should you have questions or need assistance with your application, simply email michele@gonstead.com. All applications and materials must be received at least 30 days prior to the test date.

To register link to Gonstead Methodology Institute. This fantastic seminar includes classes on knee chest, pelvic bench, x-ray, pediatrics, case management, cervical chair and much more!
