PSM Thesis Protocol (MD/DNB) – Community Medicine Synopsis (MD/DNB)
If you are an MD Community Medicine (PSM) or DNB Community Medicine postgraduate in India, you need a
PSM thesis protocol (synopsis / dissertation protocol) for departmental approval and Institutional Ethics Committee (IEC) submission.
Residents search:
psm thesis protocol, community medicine thesis protocol, psm synopsis,
MD PSM thesis protocol, DNB community medicine synopsis, public health thesis protocol,
questionnaire based psm thesis, and synopsis for my psm thesis topic.
This page helps you generate a structured PSM / Community Medicine thesis protocol after you submit your topic details.
At AI Medical Synopsis, we prepare a topic-specific PSM protocol based on your exact title,
study design (cross-sectional/cohort/case-control/record-based), feasibility for field work, and common Indian PG format.
This is not a generic template. You fill your details first, then after payment the protocol is refined and delivered as an
editable Word document.

Final/provisional title, study design, setting (community/school/hospital based), target population, duration,
feasible sample size, and primary outcomes (prevalence/KAP score/risk factors/association).
Helpful details (improves quality & reduces revisions).
Sampling method (simple random/systematic/cluster), expected prevalence (if known),
tool/scoring system you plan to use, and whether minors are included (assent requirements).
If available, upload for best matching.
College synopsis format/sample, IEC template, and any questionnaire/scale you already plan to use.
4. FAQ: PSM Thesis Protocol (MD/DNB)
Is PSM thesis protocol the same as Community Medicine synopsis?
Yes. In most Indian institutes, “PSM thesis protocol”, “Community Medicine synopsis”, and
“Public Health dissertation protocol” refer to the same document: objectives, methods, sampling, SAP, ethics, consent, and tools.
Can you prepare questionnaire-based PSM protocols?
Yes. Questionnaire/KAP studies are common, feasible, and frequently approved in MD PSM. We structure tool sections, pilot testing, and scoring clearly.
Do you include sample size and sampling method?
Yes. We include an appropriate sample size approach and clearly describe sampling technique (simple random/systematic/cluster/multistage) based on your setting.
