SPICE-PD
​Strategic Partnership for Interprofessional Collaborative Education in Pediatric Dentistry 

SPICE-PD PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) School of Dentistry is implementing a Health Resources and Services Administration-funded program to prepare dentists for the complex and comprehensive needs of pediatric patients within rapidly changing demographics and a paradigm shift in dentistry. The overall purpose of ​Strategic Partnership for Interprofessional Collaborative Education in Pediatric Dentistry (SPICE-PD) is to augment and advance the training provided through the UCLA Community Health and Advocacy Training in Pediatric Dentistry (CHAT-PD) residency program to more effectively prepare dentists to meet the growing oral health needs of children from underserved and high-need vulnerable populations in the Los Angeles area.
