The most important quality needed for undertaking it is enthusiasm for original work and for studying a subject in depth. Today it is much easier to get many articles and of the past and present with the proliferation of internet , Not to forget many students repeat the similar topics which were already done in the past, certainly choosing a topic becomes more difficult if the university is established for many decades, and many times the synopsis submitted with rejection or much quarries however newer universities have lesser control on the matters, as there few topics in the university,
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A THESIS - However most post graduation residency programmes world over do require a thesis as a part of their curriculum.Aim of the thesis at this stage is to familiarize the resident on research methodology . At this stage, topic of thesis really does not matter.What matters is how it is done - That's, if all the process of a scientific research had been followed rigorously, Try not choosing a topic with high risks and many times the newly established institutes do not take responsibility if the litigations arise from your work University regulations
Each university has its own regulations such as order of headings and style of chapter. It is important that anyone undertaking a thesis reads the regulations of the own university and follows all details as well as visiting the library to look at theses which have been accepted. This article simplifies the thesis writing, which can be adapted to different Universities.( Try contacting members of the scientific and ethical committee )
Having formulated an idea it is essential that the candidate should meet the Statistician or else it will be cumbersome to complete the thesis, as any theses nowadays require the use of statistics, and expert help should be sought from the start. Nowadays many of the Medical colleges have competent statistician and try contacting a person from community medicine solve many matters, if you do not care the matters and truly face many obstacles to complete the thesis, never forget , Many new and upcoming Medical colleges find few patients to do a work with many number of patients as inflow out patients are few and few in hospital wards , and I always say some seniors may be working on a particular topic in the department try associate with them you can do a better work you will get the support of seniors who are interested on working a particular topic The topic must contain sufficient material for a thesis and originality is important, though, an excellent piece of work confirming what is known would sometimes be acceptable. There must be a consistent theme.
FIRST STEP OF THESIS PRESENTATION - Synopsis (summary)-This should describe the contents of the thesis in 200 to 500 words. Most careful attention should be given to it, for the assessor first turns to this to find out what has been done and why. Ethical consideration and informed consent: When planning / reporting experiments on human subjects, it should be indicated whether the procedures followed were in accord with the ethical standards on human experimentation (as per the guidelines laid down by the Central Ethical Committee of the ICMR). When reporting experiments on animals, procedures adopted for the care and use of laboratory animals need to be mentioned . The subject of the thesis may have to be approved beforehand by the scientific and Ethical committee and forwarded to the university by the Dean/ Principal , a period of at least two to eighteen months must elapse before the candidate can submit the thesis after certified by the concerned guide/Head of the department with final approval of the Institutional Ethical committee
