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. Ophthalmology-specific residency training objectives and milestones have been proposed within North America in the last 4 years. Curriculum guidelines and implementation blueprints and principles have also been proffered from various sources internationally but have met with some barriers. Assessment tools within ophthalmology have seen the most innovative development within the domain of surgical skills objectives. Competencies outside of the medical expert and patient care roles have proven more challenging to teach and assess. 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.
