RAMOS ZAGA, Fernando. Training physicians for the 21st century: The crucial role of competency-based education. An. Fac. Cienc. Méd. (Asunción) [online]. 2023, vol.56, n.3, pp.99-113. ISSN 1816-8949. https://doi.org/10.18004/anales/2023.056.03.99.
Throughout history, the field of medicine has adapted to the changing needs of society and the healthcare system. Faced with this situation, the need arises to consider the transformation of medical education through a competency-based approach and thus define the profile of a physician for the 21st century. The aim of this article is to analyze the role of competency-based training in medical education and its impact on the preparation of medical students. To this end, an exhaustive literature review has been carried out in which the key concepts of competency-based medical education are analyzed. The results highlight the importance of integrating skills development in medical education taking into account social and cultural factors, as well as encouraging critical reflection in medical education. It is concluded that medical education must adapt to the changing demands of the field, involving diverse stakeholders and evolving teaching methods.
