The specialty index
Thesis help, matched to your specialty
Your mentor is a practising postgraduate teacher from your own field, because a feasibility opinion is worthless from someone who has never run your OPD. Choose a specialty to read its specimen topics, the obligations a thesis in it carries and the statistics it usually needs.

General Medicine
Observational and cross-sectional designs on diabetes, hypertension, sepsis, CKD and ICU outcomes, with rigorous sample size and SPSS analysis.
Specimen topics
Clinical profile and outcome of patients with dengue with warning signs
Feasible in my department?Correlation of HbA1c with lipid profile in type 2 diabetes
Feasible in my department?Serum procalcitonin as a predictor of sepsis outcome in ICU
Feasible in my department?
TOPICS ARE ILLUSTRATIVE
These are specimen titles, not a bank you are assigned from. Your mentor proposes options built around your department’s patient load, your guide’s interest and the data you can actually collect in the time you have.

How matching works
A mentor from your own field, and the limits of what they do
Matching is the first decision we make about your record, and the one that determines whether the rest of it is any use to you.
We read your course, your specialty, your department and where you currently stand, and we put your record in front of a postgraduate teacher who works in that field. They give the feasibility opinion on your topic, sign off the design and the sample size, read each chapter the way an external examiner reads it, and prepare you for the viva. The thesis remains a requirement of your own degree[1], and you remain its sole author on the ICMJE criteria[4]. Our name appears nowhere in it.
What a mentor will not do is write it. That is the one request we refuse every time, and we say so before you pay rather than after. Where a study needs formal analysis a biostatistician joins for that stage and states which test was used and why, so that you can defend the result instead of reciting it. If you are a DNB or DrNB trainee, your statutory dates are loaded into your tracker from your joining date[2].
What every specialty page holds
- Specimen topics
- Worked topic titles of the kind that pass a feasibility review in that specialty, published as illustrations rather than as a menu to pick from.
- What the thesis needs
- The obligations a thesis in that field has to satisfy, each traced to the instrument that imposes it rather than asserted as house style.
- The statistics
- The tests the commonest design in that specialty actually requires, and what each one answers, so the statistical plan in your synopsis is a decision and not a guess.
- The questions
- The questions residents in that specialty ask us first, answered plainly, including the ones where the answer is no.
