Competency-based medical education (CBME) is an outcomes-based training model that has become the new standard of medical education internationally. Regulatory and accrediting bodies have responded by establishing key competencies that residency programs may use to reshape their curricula. Available literature on the implementation of CBME in ophthalmology residency training programs across North America was examined. ⋯ One ophthalmology program in Canada has undergone early implementation of a novel CBME curriculum. There is still considerable work to be done to successfully implement CBME curricula within ophthalmology residency programs in North America. Collaborative efforts to develop customizable curricula, tackle implementation barriers, and create specific assessment modalities will assist programs in meeting the competency mandates of CBME.
