Abstract Competency-based medical education (CBME) has emerged as a transformative approach to medical training, revolutionizing traditional models of education. This comprehensive review article provides an in-depth overview of CBME, encompassing its underlying principles, implementation strategies, and impact on medical education. By synthesizing current research and literature, this article highlights the strengths and challenges of CBME while also identifying potential future directions for advancement. The review emphasizes CBME’s learner-centered approach and focuses on outcomes and performance, integration of clinical practice and theory, and continuous assessment and feedback. It explores various implementation strategies, including competency framework development, curriculum design, program assessment, and technology integration. The impact of CBME on medical education is discussed, emphasizing enhanced learner outcomes, improved patient care, alignment with evolving healthcare needs, flexibility in training, and the development of lifelong learning skills. The strengths of CBME, such as its emphasis on outcomes, tailored learning experiences, and assessment-driven feedback, are examined, along with the challenges of faculty development, resource allocation, standardization, and resistance to change. Furthermore, the review suggests future directions for CBME, including continued research, technology integration, interprofessional education, global adoption, and longitudinal assessment. In conclusion, this comprehensive review underscores the transformative potential of CBME in medical education, calling for further exploration, research, and collaborative efforts to shape its future.
