Writing​ ​a​ ​Dissertation​ ​in​ ​Medicine,​ ​Healthcare​ ​&​ ​Life sciences:​ ​Tips​ ​From​ ​Former​ ​PhD​ ​Students

The​ ​stories​ ​of​ ​former​ ​medical​ ​PhD​ ​students​ ​while​ ​writing​ ​a​ ​thesis​ ​may​ ​intimidate who​ ​is​ ​in​ ​line​ ​to​ ​do​ ​it.​ ​ ​For​ ​those​ ​who​ ​are​ ​finding​ ​it​ ​scary,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​important​ ​for​ ​them to​ ​understand​ ​the​ ​significance​ ​of​ ​the​ ​dissertation​ ​and​ ​the​ ​intricacies​ ​involved​ ​in writing​ ​a​ ​medical​ ​dissertation​.​ ​ ​It​ ​is​ ​when​ ​the​ ​students​ ​usually​ ​seek​ ​the​ ​help​ ​of the​ ​former​ ​PhD​ ​students​ ​in​ ​writing​ ​a​ ​dissertation​ ​Medicine,​ ​Healthcare​ ​&​ ​Life Sciences​ ​domain. To ease the burden, here are some of the tips from the former medical PhD students to consider before writing a dissertation in Medicine, Healthcare & Life sciences:


Choosing​ ​the​ ​right​ ​topic This is a very tricky part in ​thesis on health care management and hence one should be wakeful in choosing the right topic. Before landing on a topic the following​ ​factors​ ​are​ ​analysed​ ​and​ ​considered ● The​ e ​ ase​ o ​ f​ a ​ vailability​ o ​ f​ m ​ edical​ a ​ nd​ h ​ ealthcare​ ​resources​ ​in​ ​the​ ​student’s vicinity​ a ​ nd​ c​ omfort​ t​ o​ w ​ rite​ t​ he​ d ​ issertation ● Does​ t​ he​ s​ tudent​ h ​ ave​ s​ trong​ k​ nowledge​ i​ n​ t​ hat​ a ​ rea? ● Does​ i​ t​ m ​ atch​ w ​ ith​ t​ he​ i​ nterests​ o ​ f​ t​ he​ s​ tudent? Drafting​ ​a​ ​dissertation​ ​proposal One​ ​can​ ​consider​ ​drafting​ ​a​ ​dissertation​ ​proposal​ ​prior​ ​to​ ​writing​ ​a​ ​dissertation.​ ​It can​ ​help​ ​build​ ​a​ ​foundation​ ​or​ ​a​ ​clear​ ​structure​ ​for​ ​the​ ​dissertation​ ​which​ ​can​ ​be used​ ​as​ ​a​ ​reference​ ​point​ ​in​ ​all​ ​phases​ ​of​ ​dissertation​ ​writing.​ ​ ​To​ ​know​ ​more about​ ​medical​ ​dissertation​ ​proposal​click​ ​here Start​ ​from​ ​high​ ​level​ ​and​ ​build​ ​deeper It​ ​is​ ​better​ ​to​ ​construct​ ​a​ ​structure​ ​of​ ​the​ ​thesis​ ​to​ ​begin​ ​with.​ ​This​ ​gives​ ​clarity about​ ​the​ ​medical​ ​dissertation​ ​by​ ​listing​ ​all​ ​the​ ​required​ ​medical​ ​terms​ ​and constituents.​ ​And​ ​then,​ ​one​ ​can​ ​expand​ ​the​ ​thesis​ ​in​ ​the​ ​deeper​ ​level.


Primarily​ ​it​ ​is​ ​suggested​ ​not​ ​to​ ​miss​ ​any​ ​major​ ​components​ ​in​ ​the​ ​thesis​ ​which usually​ ​happens​ ​due​ ​to​ ​confusions. Review​ ​similar​ ​previous​ ​dissertations Former​ ​PhDs​ ​recommend​ ​reviewing​ ​the​ ​dissertations​ ​that​ ​are​ ​similar​ ​to​ ​the​ ​topic chosen.​ ​This​ ​will​ ​give​ ​new​ ​insights​ ​about​ ​the​ ​thesis​ ​and​ ​ideas​ ​about​ ​adding​ ​new components​ ​to​ ​the​ ​thesis. No​ ​gaps​ ​in​ ​writing​ ​schedule Since​ ​drafting​ ​a​ ​dissertation​ ​takes​ ​several​ ​weeks,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​easy​ ​to​ ​get​ ​distracted​ ​and lose​ ​track​ ​of​ ​all​ ​the​ ​ideas,​ ​analysis,​ ​through​ ​process​ ​etc. Hence​ ​it​ ​is​ ​advised​ ​by​ ​former​ ​PhDs​ ​to​ ​stick​ ​to​ ​a​ ​daily​ ​writing​ ​discipline​ ​with​ ​a proper​ ​workspace​ ​to​ ​avoid​ ​unnecessary​ ​hassles. Writing​ ​and​ ​discussing​ ​the​ ​results Conveying​ ​the​ ​results​ ​of​ ​the​ ​dissertation​ ​is​ ​where​ ​the​ ​whole​ ​point​ ​of​ ​the​ ​thesis lies​ ​and​ ​hence,​ ​utmost​ ​importance​ ​should​ ​be​ ​given​ ​to​ ​this​ ​section.​ ​It​ ​should​ ​be clear,​ ​elaborate​ ​and​ ​self​ ​understanding​ ​and​ ​can​ ​be​ ​depicted​ ​using​ ​tables, figures,​ ​graphs​ ​etc. The​ ​results​ ​are​ ​going​ ​to​ ​be​ ​a​ ​point​ ​of​ ​discussion​ ​during​ ​the​ ​defense.​ ​So,​ ​the student​ ​can​ ​anticipate​ ​the​ ​various​ ​discussion​ ​points​ ​that​ ​may​ ​arise​ ​during​ ​the presentation​ ​and​ ​note​ ​them​ ​in​ ​the​ ​thesis​ ​for​ ​ease​ ​of​ ​handling​ ​the​ ​discussion.
