The panel

Senior doctors in your own specialty, from topic to viva


Your mentor is a practising postgraduate teacher in your field, not a coordinator with a script. Scientific editors review and edit your drafts under that mentor's direction, so your writing is as careful as the science and your name stays the only one on the thesis.

Matched by specialty · named before you pay

How matching works

How you are matched to a mentor


There is no algorithm here and no pool of anonymous experts. A person reads what you are trying to do, then names the mentor we would put on it and tells you who they are.

  1. You tell us the specifics

    Course, specialty, university or board, when your session started and the date you are working to. Fifteen minutes on a call. No account, no payment and no obligation at this point.

  2. We look for a mentor in your own field

    What we look for is a postgraduate teacher in that specialty who guides theses inside their own department, knows what your examiners read for, and has room for another project this session.

  3. We name that mentor before you pay

    Their degree, their specialty and their department, told to you on the call. You decide whether that is the right person for your topic before any money changes hands.

  4. If we do not have the right person, we say so

    We do not substitute someone from a neighbouring field and leave you to discover it in the third month. If nobody on the register fits your topic, we tell you plainly, and we tell you if that changes.

You keep the same mentor from topic feasibility through to viva preparation. If that ever has to change — a mentor leaves a department, a topic turns out to belong in another field — you are told why before it happens, not after.

Phase by phase

What the doctor does, and what the editor does


The seven phases your tracker groups its fifteen stages into. A mentor decides and reviews; an editor guides and edits under that direction. Neither of them is the author.

What the doctor mentor and the scientific editor do at each phase of the thesis
PhaseThe doctor mentorThe scientific editor
OnboardingReads your course, your university's ordinance or your board's rules and your session dates, then states plainly what your thesis has to satisfy and by when.Sets the document up in your university's or NBEMS format from the first page, so nothing has to be rebuilt at the end.
Topic & synopsisTests topics against what you can actually collect — your OPD volume, records access and the months you have left — then fixes the design, the sample size and the variables.Guides your synopsis or protocol section by section and formats it, with Vancouver references and a proforma your department can use.
Ethics & dataPrepares you for the ethics committee, reviews the proforma and the consent documents, and helps you answer the committee's queries when they come back.Builds the master chart and keeps the dataset anonymised. No patient identifiers are accepted into our systems at any point.
AnalysisChooses the tests, checks the assumptions behind them, reads the output with you and decides what the data can and cannot claim.Checks that your results text matches the tables exactly, with nothing added.
WritingDirects each chapter, names the literature your field expects to see cited, and marks what is missing rather than rewriting it for you.Gives section-by-section guidance to that direction, then reviews, restructures and edits each chapter you write.
Review & revisionsComments pinned to the page inside the draft, so you can see what to change and where. Then re-reads the revision. On the Thesis service, revisions continue until your guide signs off.Edits each revision and keeps references, tables and formatting consistent across every version.
Final & deliveryTakes you through the questions examiners in your specialty are likely to ask, chapter by chapter, before the viva.Final formatting, and a word-level similarity report on the final draft, read against the UGC 2018 convention of under 10 per cent.

The panel

Further entries are being verified. None is published until it is.

Mentors are matched to your specialty rather than picked from a page. On the feasibility call we tell you which senior doctor in your field would take your thesis, their degree and their department, and you decide before you pay anything.

Free, and you need no account. No name is listed here until its credentials are verified.

Scientific editors

What a scientific editor does, and what they never do


This is the question that decides whether a service like ours is legitimate, so it is answered here rather than buried in the terms.

A scientific editor reviews, restructures and edits the drafts you write, to your mentor's direction, with section-by-section guidance before you begin each one. Every edit comes back to you before it goes anywhere. You read it, change it and approve it. Your name is the only one that appears on the thesis, and that is the whole point of the arrangement.

What they bring is the craft that costs residents weeks and teaches them very little: Vancouver and ICMJE referencing done consistently, the structure examiners read for, tables and figures that match the numbers, and your university's or NBEMS formatting applied from the first page instead of the last week.

An editor on this panel will not


  • Invent, alter or supply data. Anonymised datasets only, and none of it comes from us.
  • Write your thesis for you, or change your text without your reading and approving it.
  • Correspond with your guide, your department or your university on your behalf.
  • Take authorship or co-authorship of your thesis.

Mentoring, editing, statistics and compliance. You remain the sole author.

Specialties covered

An index of the 24 specialties we mentor


Each entry links to the study designs, the statistics and the sample topics a thesis in that field usually needs. Listing a specialty is not a claim that a mentor in it is free this month; we confirm that on the call. If your field is not here, ask.

Mechanisms, not badges

How your work is handled while the panel has it


Each line below is a mechanism this platform implements or a published instrument it is built around. We are independent of every body named.

Protection of your work

  • Private to you and your assigned team

    Your project is accessible only to you and authorised team members. The database enforces that on every read.

  • Review before you pay

    You review every draft before your next payment, streamed to you through an authenticated route.

  • Watermarked to you

    Every page you read carries your own name and email across it.

  • Download on final payment

    The final file unlocks for download when the fee is settled in full.

  • Mumbai region · DPDP 2023

    Your record and your documents are held in the Mumbai region, so India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023 applies to them.

  • Anonymised data only

    We accept no patient identifiers. An NDA is available on request.

How this works

Instruments we work to

  • NMC PGMER-2023

    The thesis obligations set out in the postgraduate medical education regulations.

  • NBEMS

    DNB and DrNB protocol and thesis timelines, and the page limit, as published.

  • UGC 2018 · <10%

    The academic integrity convention we read every similarity report against.

  • ICMJE · Vancouver

    Authorship and acknowledgement in journal papers, and reference style, as published.

  • No affiliation

    We work to these published instruments. We are affiliated to none of the bodies that issue them.

How this works

Authorship and the uniqueness check

  • Sole author

    Mentoring, editing, statistics and compliance. You remain the sole author of your thesis.

  • Not ghostwriting

    We will not write your thesis for you. We claim no authorship or co-authorship, and we help you disclose our help where your institution asks for it.

  • MDSoftune

    Word-level uniqueness checking, built with REDENN Informatics Inc., Canada.

  • Every version

    Each draft is checked word by word before your university sees it.

How this works

MDThesis is an independent academic mentorship practice. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting for the NMC, NBEMS, UGC or any university.
