Tech Tuesday – August 27: Competency Form Codes and Copilot
TechTuesday
A weekly tip email from your neighborhood Instructional Technology and eHR team.
Tip #1 – Clinics are back and that means competencies are back, so here is a comprehensive guide to help with any knowledge gaps. The most common issue we see is the incorrect Form code selected. Think of the Form code as the correlating class in which the competency is required.
In this example, a D4341C (Planing and Scaling) competency is charted, but upon completion and approval, the Form code “D3ENDO was selected” which is the incorrect correlating class.
In this example, the correct Form code was selected, so we see the questions.
Tip #2 – VCU has partnered with Microsoft to provide Copilot for free to all VCU staff, faculty, and students. Visit VCU’s generative AI site to learn more, including how to get access.
Copilot is an advanced AI assistant designed to support a wide range of tasks through conversational interactions. It can synthesize information, offer support, and complete productivity-related tasks, making it a versatile tool in various settings, including dental schools.

Now would you like to see that as a poem?
In halls where knowledge blooms and grows, Where future dentists hone their prose, A helper stands, both wise and bright, To guide them through the day and night.
Copilot is its name, you see, A friend to all in dentistry. With wisdom vast and skills so keen, It aids in ways both heard and seen.
For students deep in study’s trance, It offers help, a second chance. With quizzes, notes, and answers clear, It turns confusion into cheer.
In admin tasks, it lends a hand, Scheduling with a touch so grand. Records kept with utmost care, Ensuring order everywhere.
In clinics where the skills are tried, Copilot stands right by their side. With case studies and steps precise, It helps them learn and then advise.
For research, it’s a guiding star, Finding data near and far. Summarizing with insight true, It brings the latest into view.
And when with patients they must speak, Copilot helps them find their peak. With practice in communication, It builds their skills, their dedication.
So in this school where dreams take flight, Copilot shines, a guiding light. A partner in each task and goal, It plays a vital, cherished role.
