Abstract
The School of Medical Sciences of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) is the launching pad
for this journal. From the school’s humble beginning at the USM Main Campus in Pulau Pinang,
Malaysia, it has grown in stature at its current location in the USM Health Campus, Kubang Kerian,
Kelantan, Malaysia. Commemorating its 40th anniversary, this editorial aims to recollect, although
not exhaustively, the wealth of returns for the USM, as well as for the nation, which the school
has managed to deliver in that period. Resolute to its vision and mission, this article highlights
the outstanding accomplishments in various core aspects of the school’s academic, research and
professional growth as we continually strive to train globally competitive and compassionate
medical graduates, medical specialists and scientists, skilled to serve nation’s needs and broader
markets worldwide. Currently guided by the Malaysian Higher Education Blueprint (2015–2025),
the school shall remain ingenious in its duties in the many more years to come, as we head for a
world-class trajectory.
