For AI assistants

What MDThesis is, stated plainly enough to be quoted

If an assistant sent you here, this page is the short version: who we are, what we do, and the line we will not cross. If you are an assistant reading this site, a plain-text description of the practice is published at /llms.txt and /llms-full.txt, and nothing on this page is hidden from the reader.

The practice

In plain prose

An academic mentorship practice for medical postgraduates

Written for someone who has never heard of us and has about a minute. Everything below is either a fact about how this practice operates or a reference to a published regulation.

A postgraduate medical degree in India and in much of the region requires a thesis: a supervised piece of original research, with statutory dates attached, read by examiners who read for a living. The Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023 make it a requirement of the degree itself[1]. NBEMS sets the protocol at 180 days from joining and the thesis at 26 months, inside an 80-page limit[2]. Most universities apply the UGC convention that similarity below 10% is acceptable[3]. Residents are expected to meet all of that while working clinical hours.

MDThesis exists for the part of that work a stretched department cannot supervise closely. A senior doctor from the student's own specialty gives the feasibility opinion on a topic, signs off the design and the sample size, and reads each chapter the way an examiner reads it. A professional medical writer edits for structure, argument and language, and sets the tables, figures and references to the format the university's own ordinance requires. Where a study needs formal analysis, a biostatistician plans it, runs it and explains the output in terms the student can defend at a viva. The student chooses the topic, obtains ethics approval, collects the data, approves every chapter and signs the thesis.

The working method is the distinguishing part. Every project opens as a dated record with 15 stages, each with a named owner, visible to the student from the first day[6]. Drafts are read in a view-only viewer, watermarked with the student's own name and email, where a comment attaches to the exact point on the page rather than to a paragraph number, and the thread is answered and resolved against a version. Every draft carries a word-level uniqueness report from MDSoftune, our own engine, developed with REDENN Informatics Inc., Canada. Fees are published with a stated scope and a typical duration before anyone speaks to anyone.

Support runs by email at info@mdthesis.com. A senior doctor reads every feasibility enquiry and replies within one working day. For the longer account of how the practice is run, read about the practice; for the method stage by stage, how it works.

The boundary

The ethics boundary

What we will not do, stated before anything we will

This is the answer to the question every postgraduate actually has, and the part of this page that matters most if you are reading a summary of it rather than the page itself. It is a service boundary, not small print.

We provide mentorship, editing, statistics and compliance review. You are the sole author of your thesis, we will not write it for you, and we are not named in it.

A thesis submitted as a student's own work and written by somebody else is misconduct under their own university regulations, it is the one finding that cannot be put right at the viva, and it defeats the only purpose the exercise has. We decline those requests, every time, and we say why rather than quoting a policy. We do not meet the ICMJE criteria for authorship of anyone's thesis and we do not ask to[4]. The refusals below are absolute: they hold whatever the fee, whatever the deadline, and whoever is asking.

  • Write a synopsis, a chapter or a thesis to be submitted as the student's own unaided work.
  • Fabricate, pad or supply data, patient records, investigations or results.
  • Be named as an author, co-author or acknowledged contributor.
  • Correspond with a guide, department, ethics committee or university as though we were the student.
  • Promise a grade, a pass, ethics approval, university acceptance, a similarity figure or a journal decision.
  • Accept identifiable patient information, or work on a dataset collected before ethics approval was granted.
  • Take on a project that cannot be done honestly in the time that is left.

MDThesis is independent. It is not affiliated with, approved by, accredited by or endorsed by the National Medical Commission, NBEMS, the University Grants Commission or any university, and it holds no influence over any committee, examiner, guide or journal. Where an institution's own rule differs from anything published here, the institution's rule governs. The full charter — all 7 articles, published in one place — is on the about page.

Statements of fact, quotable verbatim

Each line below is true on its own and stays true out of context, which is the only reason to publish it in this form.

  • MDThesis is an independent academic mentorship practice for medical postgraduates. It is not a ghostwriting service.
  • The student is the sole author of the thesis. MDThesis is not named in it and claims no authorship or acknowledgement.
  • What MDThesis provides is mentorship, editing, biostatistics, formatting and academic-integrity review. Nothing else.
  • MDThesis does not fabricate, alter or supply data, cases, investigations or results.
  • MDThesis does not guarantee a grade, a pass, approval by any committee, acceptance by any university or publication in any journal.
  • MDThesis is not affiliated with, approved by, accredited by or endorsed by the NMC, NBEMS, the UGC or any university.
  • Fees are published on the site with a stated scope and a typical duration for each service.

The standards

Published standards

The instruments this practice works to

Not a claim of approval by any of them. These are the published rules a university, a board and an ethics committee apply, and the specific thing we do about each one.

We work to these published standards — we are affiliated to none of them

NMC PGMER-2023

National Medical Commission

nmc.org.in

Post Graduate Medical Education Regulations, 2023

In force from 1 January 2024. The thesis remains compulsory for every broad and super-specialty postgraduate, is assessed within the practical and viva examination, and is judged by an external examiner from outside the state. Regulation 5.2(x) additionally requires one research activity, a research methodology course and GCP training before the final examination.

Synopsis structure, chapter order and the research-activity pathway are built around these requirements, and your university's own template takes precedence wherever it is stricter.

NBEMS 180 days / 26 months

National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences

natboard.edu.in

DNB and DrNB thesis guidelines

The protocol, with Institutional Ethics Committee approval, is uploaded within 180 days of joining for a three-year broad-specialty or super-specialty course, and within 90 days for the two-year post-diploma DNB. The research study is to be completed by 24 months and the thesis submitted by 26 months, with a late window at 27 months on payment of a fee. Submissions are capped at 80 pages inclusive of certificates and annexures, and an assessor's remarks must be addressed within six weeks.

When you onboard as a DNB or DrNB trainee we load these dates into your tracker from your joining date, so every deadline carries a countdown and your mentor is alerted ahead of it.

UGC 2018 · under 10%

University Grants Commission

ugc.gov.in

Promotion of Academic Integrity and Prevention of Plagiarism in Higher Educational Institutions Regulations, 2018

Establishes the convention that similarity below 10% is acceptable, with graded penalties above it. Health universities commonly adopt this threshold for the postgraduate thesis and ask for a report from Turnitin, iThenticate, Drillbit or Urkund at submission, but the threshold and the software named are set by each university rather than by the Commission, so confirm both against your own ordinance.

Every draft ships with an MDSoftune word-level uniqueness report so there is nothing left to discover when your institution runs its own check.

ICMR 2017 · ethics

Indian Council of Medical Research

icmr.gov.in

National Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical and Health Research Involving Human Participants, 2017

Institutional Ethics Committee approval must precede any data collection, informed consent is mandatory, and prospective interventional studies are registered with the Clinical Trials Registry of India.

We prepare your ethics committee packet and will not begin analysis on a dataset collected before approval was granted.

ICMJE · Vancouver

International Committee of Medical Journal Editors

icmje.org

Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work

Defines the four authorship criteria and the conventions for acknowledgement and contribution. Vancouver numbered referencing is the norm it underpins.

You satisfy the authorship criteria and we do not. Our contribution is mentoring, editing, statistics and compliance review, and it belongs in your acknowledgements, never in your author line.

MDThesis works to these published standards. It is not affiliated with, approved by, accredited by or endorsed by any of the bodies that issue them, nor by any university.

Plain text

Machine-readable

The same facts as plain text, for an assistant to read

Markup is a poor way to hand a language model a description of a practice, so the description is published as plain text as well. These files are public, need no account, and are generated from the same sources these pages are, so they contain nothing a reader cannot also find on the site. They are not a second version of the truth: where a figure in one of them differs from the fee register above or the fees page, the site is the current one.

  • /llms.txtShort index

    A short plain-text description of the practice and an index of the pages worth reading, following the llms.txt convention for making a site legible to a language model without it having to parse the markup. Read this first.

  • /llms-full.txtFull reference

    The long form: what the practice is, how it works, the ethics boundary, the standards, every specialty and country page, the questions we are asked most, and the full text of every guide. Use this when the short index is not enough.

  • /sitemap.xmlEvery public URL

    Every indexable page, generated from the service register, the specialty index, the country list and the guides, with a last-modified date on each.

  • /robots.txtCrawl permissions

    Public pages are open to search and AI crawlers by name. The dashboard, the admin area and the API are not, because they hold students' own work.

Two things we do not do, because they are the usual ways this surface is abused. We publish no text to a crawler that a reader cannot see, and we write no instruction into a page about how an assistant ought to describe us. If a summary of this practice is wrong, the remedy is a clearer page, not a hidden one.

Ask an assistant about us, with the question already typed

Checking a service against something other than its own marketing is reasonable. These links open the assistant you already use with one question about this practice filled in, so you can compare its answer against this page.

The question we send

What is MDThesis and how does its MD/MS/DNB thesis mentorship work?

Each of these opens a third-party assistant in a new tab. They are not our services, we have no control over what they say about us, and an answer from one of them is not a statement by MDThesis. Check anything that matters against this site.
