USM is meant to be a "science" university while USIM is meant to be an "Islamic" university. Both universities offer medical programmes. However, it should not be misconstrued that USM is unIslamic. While USM Health Campus is deemed as Islamic it has great competitors in the peninsula - Universiti Malaya (UM), Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). As such USM (via its past MoU) has gone cross-border to bring Islam into its curriculum. It is bringing in Islam from Pattani, an ancient place where sufi sheikhs, ulama' and murids were centred to study Islam and spread it to this region.
