Medical Forum / General / Laboratory / July 2005MSc projects
Help... ! Doing an MSc is becoming more and more "the done thing" - for the last four or five years we've had two people at any one time doing MScs and I'm fast running out of project ideas for them. The main problem is that they need to do a decent quality piece of research and as a district general hospital, we just aren't a research institution. Any suggestions gratefully received :o) In any particular discipline? Annie ;o) ps - JD about to be handed in. You heard anything yet? > Help... ! > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Any suggestions gratefully received :o) > In any particular discipline? > > Annie ;o) > > ps - JD about to be handed in. You heard anything yet? Ostensibly haematology, but multi-disc is good. Heard anything - the senior chief job I went for Age discrimination - I was told I'm too young !! >> Help... ! >> [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >> >> Any suggestions gratefully received :o) >Help... ! > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >The main problem is that they need to do a decent quality piece of research >and as a district general hospital, we just aren't a research institution. But you are a source of "problems" and perhaps data. What problems do you folks talk about? Assays that aren't satisfactory? New ideas that no one has yet had time to try (and compare with old)? Analyses of how your data is used -- which tests give results that are actually useful? Depends of course on the field of the student. A good student should be able to spend some time watching you, and see some project ideas emerge. You can speed that up by raising issues that are on your mind. bob >>Help... ! >> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > But you are a source of "problems" and perhaps data.

For an MSc they want somewhat more than a comparison of two kits >Analyses of how > your data is used -- which tests give results that are actually > useful?

Sorry to sound negative, but... :o( Anything that can tie test quality, laboratory quality control, or laboratory management practices to clinical outcomes. It's amazing, but there is almost nothing in the pathology/lab med literature that examines how the quality of testing or lab management actually impacts patient care. > Help... ! > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Any suggestions gratefully received :o) |
