Going by our learning from past experience in the thesis committee, this time we need to ensure that their thesis topic selection:
a) contains a proper problem statement, study design and expected outcomes and finally a title, which reflects all of that.
b) serves as a valuable tool to solve patient problems that the students encounter in their regular workflow
c) enables them to develop different publishable findings from their thesis
d) does not become a burden on them making them resort to unethical practices.
We are looking forward to developing the thesis topics of this current first year batch through a blended discussion with each one of them along with their esteemed faculty before it becomes too late for their protocol submission.
We have asked each thesis protocol going candidate to
start sharing their initial thoughts on their own thesis plan in the online whatsapp group created specially for that purpose and encouraged them to just share enough that can be easily read in a text message and we shall collectively try to build on it conversationally.
One of the problems with whatsapp conversations is that there is currently no scope to create a separate thread for each one of their thesis.
To circumvent that we are asking them to put their preliminary thoughts into their blog and share the link and paste it with each one of their messages and keep adding the related conversations to it so that all the inputs related to their thesis gets archived in their own blog.
The blog post here is a quick demo to produce a link that can be emulated by them in their text messages.
How to pick a topic for thesis?

Peripheral perfusion index measured by pulse oxymeter as a predictor of developing shock in children of age 1mo to 12years. Is that the right way to put forward the question?
ReplyDeleteThis appears to be a title for your thesis.
DeleteWhat we need to know clearly is what problem will this be able to solve and how impactful it will be.
How would you measure the peripheral perfusion index? How will it be useful as a predictor?
The answers to these questions can come into the introduction of your problem statement.
