We care about the future experiences of all health professions trainees as competency-based medical education evolves. It is an exciting new era with many possibilities for progress in learning and competency development. Yet we are concerned that remediation remains a troubled and stigmatized detour from routine learning that can persist as a feared off-ramp from competency development rather than a central avenue for improvement and competency achievement. We believe that it is time to acknowledge that all trainees struggle and to recognize that remediation is an essential aspect of individualized learning. Decisive steps are possible to revitalize remediation and to launch its transformation towards growth-oriented pathways for change.
