Competency-Based Medical Education

Competency-based medical education (CBME) is an approach to training healthcare professionals that focuses on developing specific skills and competencies necessary for effective practice. Rather than simply accumulating hours or passing traditional exams, students are assessed on their ability to demonstrate essential clinical skills, knowledge, and behaviors in real-world situations. This method ensures that future doctors and healthcare providers are not only knowledgeable but also capable of delivering high-quality patient care, as they are trained to meet the specific needs of patients and healthcare systems. CBME aims to enhance the overall quality of medical education and healthcare delivery.
