Writing a clear thesis protocol for an MD, MS, or DNB thesis is important. A good thesis protocol shows what you plan to do, why you plan to do it, and how you will do it. Your thesis synopsis gives a short summary of your plan. When you write the thesis synopsis, make sure it explains the problem, the goals, and the methods in simple terms. Share your draft thesis protocol with a mentor to catch any errors. Check that your thesis protocol matches what you wrote in the thesis synopsis. Ask yourself: does the thesis protocol have clear steps? Does the thesis synopsis give a quick overview? Revising your thesis protocol and your thesis synopsis again and again will help make your work strong and easy to follow.
