CBME
Competency Based Medical Education
New Indian MBBS
Curriculum
Competency based medical education (CBME) has been implemented in India since 2019 & centered on the need for creating competent physicians (multidimensional, contextual and developmental).
​
CBME is learner-centered and adaptive to the changing needs of students, teachers and society where learning activities and environments are chosen to enable the learners to acquire and apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes to the situations they encounter in everyday life.
Competencies: The habitual and judicious use of communication, knowledge, technical skills, clinical reasoning, emotions, values, and reflection in daily practice for the benefit of the individual and community being served.
CBME emphasizes on the complex outcomes of a learning process rather than mainly focusing on what learners are expected to learn about in terms of traditionally-defined subject content.
