Abstract

In the recent past, in order to achieve our national goal of 'health for all', National Medical Commission and Government of India made competency based medical education (CBME) mandatory in all Indian medical colleges. By undergoing CBME, the Indian Medical Graduate is expected to achieve the five roles of Clinician, Communicator, Leader and Member of the health care, Professional and Lifelong learner. This article is an overview of CBME, its relevant terminologies and knowledge-gaps. The purpose is to share these changes in medical education with practicing Otolaryngologists of India. It also discusses the various challenges regarding this already- suggested implementation process for clinical academicians, which could be counterproductive to the expected national aim and goal.
