Abstract
Competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum has been implemented by National Medical Council from 2019 for the Indian Medical Graduates (IMG). This competency-based curriculum focuses on skill acquisition with   incorporation of soft skills related to attitude, communication and ethics.  Widespread adoption of a competency-based approach would mean a paradigm shift in the current approach to medical education.
The current article describes rationale of CBME along with an overview of the competencies mandated in ophthalmology with detailing of assessment module by means of logbook with incorporation of work place based assessment.
