For Indian Medical Colleges
The ePortfolio platform your CBME programme needs
NMC mandates competency-based education and e-logbooks. Academe ePortfolios gives your residents EPA tracking, reflective practice, and competency documentation — in one open-source platform, built for India.
Trusted by 4,300+ users across Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth and Arupadai Veedu Medical College
|The challenge
Paper logbooks cannot deliver what CBME demands
India's medical education regulators are mandating competency-based training. Most institutions lack the tools to implement it.
NMC mandates CBME and e-logbooks
PGMER-2023 requires e-logbooks for PG trainees. CBME Curriculum 2024 mandates competency tracking.
Competency develops longitudinally
EPAs require multiple workplace-based assessments over months. Paper logbooks cannot aggregate or track trends.
No platform serves Indian medical colleges
Global platforms cost USD 15-50/user/year and align with ACGME, not NMC. India's 706+ medical colleges need an affordable, regulation-aware solution.
