Popis: Although a number of surgical training institutions have started to adopt competency-based education (CBE) frameworks for training, the debate about the value of this model continues. Some proponents regard CBE as a method of guaranteeing residents competence, whereas others consider CBE to be reductive and lacking the richness in experiences that the traditional model offers. In this article, we reflect on CBE and review some salient attempts to implement CBE in surgical education. We identify challenges facing postgraduate surgical education, some of which are motivating educators to consider incorporating CBE into their curricula. We look at some purported advantages and disadvantages of CBE and describe initial reports from CBE programs currently being developed.
