Competency-based education is beneficial for professional development

erately cater your education to these end objectives. Many countries in the world have developed consensus on these competencies, in so-called competency frameworks. The most well-known are the frameworks from the Accreditation Council of Graduate Medical Education from the US [1], the CanMEDS framework from Canada [2] and Good Medical Practice from the UK [3]. There are many other countries in the world that have developed their own competency framework acknowledging their own local needs for training programmes in their competency definitions. Unlike my opponent [4], I am in favour of having these competency frameworks for 2 main reasons.
