“…Though efforts have been put to include psychiatry as a mainstream subject in the undergraduate curriculum, psychiatry is still catered as a subspecialty under general medicine. However, there has been an increase in the dedicated hours of psychiatry teaching, spanning across the second year to the internship (Dhiman et al, 2021).

Medical education in India is undergoing a landmark transformation under the National Medical Commission implementing competency-based medical education (CBME). The CBME approach intends to ensure that medical graduates acquire the competencies needed to fulfill the health needs of the patient and society. This outcome-based approach shifts the focus from the traditional knowledge-based training to skill-based training valued on attitude, ethics, and communication (AETCOM) competencies. CBME thus aims to create medical professionals capable of providing holistic care with compassion and excellence embracing the global trends. The opportunity posed by the CBME should be utilized to sensitize and create interest among the learners about the science and scope of psychiatry. However, there are many challenges in the successful implementation of CBME, which have to be identified and addressed on time for serving the purpose. A basic tenet in CBME is to continue training until the desired competencies are achieved; in other words, to de-emphasize time-based learning. Moreover, the current COVID 19 pandemic is posing a significant influence on the execution of CBME implemented in August 2019. Online platforms could have several advantages in assisting the implementation of CBME; they provide an alternative to continue teaching-learning and assessment during these times and allow learners with the flexibility to learn at their own pace. In this article, we discuss the opportunities, including digital platforms and challenges to be overcame as well as the need for training the faculty toward assimilating the curriculum in the undergraduate psychiatric training.

“…This provides psychiatry educators with an excellent opportunity to structure the training in terms of addressing not only knowledge but also attitude and skills, which are paramount in psychiatry training. 2 As per the CBME, clinical skills must be taught during the internship posting and assessed with appropriate measures at completion. There is a need to devise assessment methods considering the learning objectives focusing on clinical psychiatry skills.…”
