Centered on learning, but is it learner centered?: Paediatric resident perspectives on competency‐based medical education

Our findings align with concerns raised in other specialties, opening up questions as to why a learner-centered system may be having deleterious effects on its residents. We suggest that if the field is to fully unlock the potential that CBME systems hold, it is necessary to engage productively with resident critiques and to more deeply consider the effects that its historical and ideological aspects-such as its desire to materially demonstrate the acquisition of learner competence as well as a neoliberal orientation-have on CBME's contemporary design and delivery.
