Abstract

We focus on the importance and necessity of post-competency-based training in medical education alongside its current challenges and opportunities. Integrating post competency training into standardized educational frameworks is increasingly recognized as a critical component of preparing residents and postgraduates for real-world clinical practice. Post competency training represents a commitment to excellence in medical education, striving to produce competent, skilled practitioners to meet the challenges of modern healthcare.

Keywords: Post competency; Standardized training; Resident; Postgraduate; Competency-based medical education

Core Tip: Competency-based medical education (CBME) represents the current major transformation in global medical education and training. This transformation involves ongoing updates to training programs, pedagogical methods, assessment frameworks, resource allocation, and educational management. Integrating post competency training into standardized training frameworks is increasingly recognized as a critical component of preparing residents and postgraduates for real-world clinical practice. Looking ahead, applying CBME in the standardized training of residents and postgraduates promises to deliver professionals with the competencies needed for present and future medical challenges.
