If you are interested in holding a NUCCA Regional Workshop near you, please click the button below to fill out the online request form. If you have any questions, please reach out to the NUCCA Office at 952-564-3056 or email info@nucca.org.

Please note: Workshops should take place during the summer or winter months to not interfere with conference attendance. (Summer: June, July, August / Winter: December, January, February)

In consultation with the Education Committee, Dr. Glen Cripe, Dr. Tym Flory, and Dr. Jeff Scholten met regularly in 2018 to conceptualize an enhancement to the methods by which NUCCA doctors are trained.

Regular conference attendance is still crucial, however, the development of kinesthetic, clinical, and research excellence requires the availability of more frequent mentorship opportunities. To this end, we will begin to test the desire of our membership for NUCCA Approved Regional Workshops over the next few years. The first beta version of these workshops occurred in February 2019 in Newport Beach, facilitated by Dr. Glen Cripe. More workshops will be offered regionally in the Winter of 2020. Tentative plans exist for Atlanta, Seattle, LA, Orange County and San Francisco.

If you are a NUCCA Credentialed Instructor, a Diplomate in Chiropractic Craniocervical Junction Procedures (NUCCA), or have special post graduate expertise and have an interest in understanding more about how you can get involved and provide NUCCA Approved Regional Workshops, please contact Dr. Jeff Scholten, Dr. Tym Flory or NUCCA.

Upcoming Events

NUCCA’s Collegiality Committee

The Gregory Legacy: A Special Settleback Session
Wednesday, August 19, 2026
9:00 pm EST / 6:00 pm PST

For one evening only, an exceptional panel of senior NUCCA doctors will come together to share their firsthand experiences with Dr. Ralph Gregory and answer many of the questions that have been passed down through generations of NUCCA doctors and students.

Have you ever wondered:

  • What was Dr. Gregory really like?
  • What were his thoughts on research?
  • Why is NUCCA called NUCCA?
  • What did his adjustment feel like?
  • Or found yourself asking, “What did Dr. Gregory say about…?”

This is your opportunity to hear directly from doctors who knew him personally, worked alongside him, and were adjusted by him. Their stories, insights, and perspectives represent a unique connection to the roots of our profession.

The panel will feature:

  • Dr. Glenn Cripe
  • Dr. Keith Denton
  • Dr. John Dunn
  • Dr. Steven MacDonald
  • Dr. Steven Nakano
  • Dr. Sherry Dickholtz Graber
  • Dr. Lonnie Pond
  • Dr. Jim Palmer (NUCCA’s second researcher)

Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. Join us for an evening of history, conversation, and a shared appreciation for the philosophy, science, and art of NUCCA. Whether you’re a seasoned doctor or a student just beginning your journey, this is a special chance to connect with the legacy of our profession—and yes, to spend an evening happily “nerding out” on NUCCA together.
