School of Dental Sciences, USM Health Campus

What School of Dental Sciences, USM Health Campus does

Revenue is generated through multiple streams: subscription-style tuition from undergraduate and postgraduate cohorts; transaction-based fees from clinical patient services across general, specialist, executive, and operating theatre channels; transactional lab service fees from the Dental Technology Laboratory for both internal clinics and external private dental clinics; and licensing/grant-based research funding from industry partners including Dentsply Sirona, EHC Commercial Malaysia (Kerr), BREGO Life Sciences, Aestech Pro, and Solventum. As a public university school, PPSG also receives government allocations through its parent institution, USM. Distribution of services is direct-to-consumer via Hospital Pakar USM and a mobile unit, while laboratory outputs flow through a channel/reseller-style model serving external private dental clinics. Academic-program marketing runs through the official website, Facebook, YouTube, the annual GIGI research bulletin flipbook, conferences and CPD events, and community outreach programs.
