Prior to welcoming my twins to
this world, obviously, there were many rounds of doctor visits involved.
Thereafter, during my legs episode too, many doctor visits showcased the use of
properly printed prescription letters or pages. Some of the doctors have their
assistance who will fill up the previous visit’s details, then kick starts the
current discussion.
Similarly, when the PhD guide
meets his / her scholars, why not create and maintain the file of
prescriptions? Guide should not wait, but print one such letterhead by making
it in Canva and xeroxing it; keep it ready. The scholar may keep them so that
before the next visit or meeting, the scholar will fill up publication status
details, conference, grant, patent, data, collaboration details, etc. so that
further directions can be given. Instead of writing in a register, in an online
mode, or on plain paper, a professional approach will prove more useful.
Scholars need to maintain this file and bring it during discussion every time.
Guide needs to make sure to prescribe less or moderate medicines; no overdose,
please.
If required, now a days in the
market, carbon copy papers are also available, so guide-scholar duo may opt to
use such paper so as to have two copies of the same prescription.
In this multitasking world, making
use of such printed prescriptions, writing on a piece of paper will help guide
and the scholar, with reduced screen time and no need to recollect or remember
anything about every individual research. Generally all the PhD guides are
teachers, hence there will be no issue with the handwriting as with doctors,
the medical professionals.
I sincerely believe properly
written prescriptions for scholars will prove a great initiative.
If PhD guides will start using
prescriptions which will generally have the next date of meeting or any
objectives to fulfil with a specific date, etc., so everything will be
transparently documented. I am aware of a few handful guides jot down the minutes
of meeting or points etc. for their scholars, but if every guide will do it
then the productivity will increase for sure.
