Abstract: A proposed program for competency-based neurosurgery training was presented for adaptation to a specialized project. The core of this training program is to reflect the contents of medicine that develop in the ordinary competency course necessary during the training period of residency and to systematize the training curriculum focused on competency. For that, the development project of the competency-based training program for neurosurgical residency was conducted under the leadership of the Training Education Committee under the Korean Neurosurgical Society (KNS), with the support of the Ministry of Health and Welfare. In this article, we introduce an educational program for a competency-oriented training system. The educational program sets the goal of the final competency that a neurosurgeon must possess and presents a list of core competencies and activities to perform for this purpose, called entrustable professional activity (EPA). The program structure includes the following domains : seven final competencies, four core competencies, 10 EPAs, and 12 neurosurgical procedures. These educational programs will be uploaded to the KNS website in the future, and we would like to encourage each training hospital to reflect on them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
