Abstract Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) has transformed traditional medical education by emphasizing competency acquisition, learner-centered teaching, clinical skill development, professionalism, and patient-centered healthcare. Within this framework, attendance criteria play a crucial role in ensuring active participation, continuous learning, clinical exposure, and competency attainment among medical students. Attendance in medical education is not merely a regulatory requirement but an essential component for acquiring psychomotor skills, communication abilities, ethical values, teamwork, and clinical competence. Regular attendance enhances academic performance, facilitates experiential learning, improves student-teacher interaction, and strengthens professional discipline. In CBME, where learning is integrated, longitudinal, and competency-driven, absenteeism may adversely affect skill acquisition, reflective learning, and patient care preparedness. Attendance policies also promote accountability, punctuality, professionalism, and institutional discipline. However, strict attendance regulations may sometimes create psychological stress, student dissatisfaction, and logistical challenges. Therefore, balanced, learner-sensitive, and competency-oriented attendance systems are essential for effective implementation of CBME. The present article discusses the educational significance, advantages, challenges, implementation strategies, and future perspectives of attendance criteria in Competency-Based Medical Education. Strengthening attendance policies in alignment with competency acquisition can substantially improve medical training quality and healthcare outcomes.
