The medical education system in India is one of the largest in the world and it is currently facing challenges for quality education. Medical education has changed considerably and will continue to do so with the various scientific advances and societal needs. The previous medical education system in India was based on a subject-centered and time-based curriculum. The new Competency-based medical education (CBME) was introduced to tackle these concerns. The education has now transitioned from teacher-centered to learner-centered. The teachers would also have to face the challenge of altering their attitude and teaching approach. New methods have to be adopted to keep up with the changed curriculum but traditions should not be abandoned entirely. By embracing the modern methods like the flipped classroom, blended learning, interactive teaching, etc. and incorporating it with the traditional teaching methods i.e. chalk and board, the goal of a Competent Indian Medical Graduate can be achieved.
