Abstract The rapid advancement of genetics and genomics has revolutionized modern medicine, transforming the diagnosis, prevention, and management of numerous hereditary and multifactorial diseases. In the era of precision medicine, genetic counselling has emerged as an indispensable component of healthcare delivery, enabling patients and families to understand genetic risks, inheritance patterns, diagnostic options, and preventive strategies. Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME), introduced by the National Medical Commission, emphasizes learner-centered education, clinical competence, ethical practice, communication skills, and patient-centered care. Incorporating genetic counselling into CBME is essential for preparing future physicians to address the growing burden of genetic disorders and to apply genomic knowledge effectively in clinical practice. Genetic counselling enhances students’ understanding of medical genetics, improves communication abilities, promotes ethical decision-making, and strengthens empathetic patient care. It also supports preventive medicine, reproductive counselling, neonatal screening, cancer genetics, and personalized therapeutics. The present article explores the significance, principles, applications, educational relevance, challenges, and future prospects of genetic counselling within the framework of CBME. The integration of genetic counselling into undergraduate medical education can substantially improve healthcare quality, promote ethical medical practice, and advance precision medicine in modern healthcare systems.
