Abstract Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) has emerged as a transformative paradigm in modern medical training, emphasizing learner-centered approaches, outcome-based education, and lifelong professional development. Within this framework, Self-Directed Learning (SDL) and Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) have gained remarkable importance as essential educational strategies for cultivating independent, reflective, and competent medical graduates. Although both concepts promote autonomous learning, they differ significantly in structure, motivation, cognitive control, and educational application. SDL primarily focuses on the learner’s initiative in identifying learning needs, setting goals, locating resources, and evaluating outcomes, whereas SRL emphasizes cognitive, motivational, behavioral, and metacognitive regulation during the learning process. The integration of SDL and SRL in CBME fosters critical thinking, clinical reasoning, problem-solving abilities, professionalism, and lifelong learning habits among medical students. The present article comprehensively compares SDL and SRL, discusses their principles, applications, advantages, limitations, and educational implications in CBME, and highlights their role in developing competent Indian medical graduates aligned with modern healthcare demands.
