Geriatric Medicine theses in India work best when they apply comprehensive geriatric assessment to problems that are common but under-recognised: frailty, cognitive impairment, falls, malnutrition, depression, incontinence and inappropriate prescribing. Most of these can be measured with validated bedside tools and a few routine tests, which keeps the study affordable and repeatable in any teaching hospital.
Hospital-based and community cross-sectional studies, prospective cohorts with outcomes at discharge, and simple interventions such as nutritional or exercise programmes are well suited to the residency period. The catalogue covers Cognition and Dementia, Mental Health, Chronic Disease, Acute Care and Hospitalisation, Falls and Mobility, Frailty and Functional Status, Pharmacotherapy, Bone and Joint Health, Nutrition, and Sensory Impairment, reflecting the full range of geriatric practice.

5Tips for choosing a MD Geriatric Medicine topic
- Use validated tools such as the Clinical Frailty Scale, Fried frailty phenotype, Mini Nutritional Assessment, Geriatric Depression Scale, Barthel Index and the Timed Up and Go test, with Hindi or regional versions where available.
- For polypharmacy topics, use explicit criteria like the Beers criteria or STOPP/START and record medicines from prescriptions and pill bottles, not memory alone, to improve accuracy.
- Cognitive impairment affects consent. Screen capacity first and involve a family member as legally acceptable representative for patients with dementia, and describe this in your ethics submission.
- Older adults tire easily, have hearing and vision problems and may miss follow-up visits. Keep assessment sessions short, use home or phone follow-up and plan for higher dropout from the start.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions on this topic
The focus moves from a single disease to function, cognition, mobility and independence. A geriatric thesis typically uses comprehensive geriatric assessment tools and links them with outcomes like falls, readmission, delirium or disability. This patient-centred approach is what examiners expect from the speciality.
Yes. Surveys of frailty, food insecurity, hearing or visual impairment and dependency in daily activities among elderly people in field practice areas are feasible and valuable. Plan home visits, transport and local permissions, and arrange a referral pathway for those found to have treatable problems.
Delirium is common in hospitalised older adults and makes an excellent thesis if you screen daily with a validated tool such as the Confusion Assessment Method. Choose a setting with enough elderly admissions, such as medicine wards or post-operative hip fracture patients, and define outcomes like length of stay or mortality.
Use them as starting points. Discuss the title with your guide, check that it fits your department's patients and facilities, check it has not already been done at your institution, and adjust the wording before you submit it to your ethics committee.
