A Poster Presentation to the By Eisa Ali Johali
1. ABSTRACT
• The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is a newly developed nation, with deep historical and moral roots. Its people as well its health care personnel s suppose to be free of disuse and all medical errors . they should do the right thing first time and all the time. They should be honest, trustee and perfect in everything. However, due to increasing medical errors mainly with malpractice. There are widely claimants for studying this strange phenomena.
• As educationist I believe that this problem starts from education by which we can produce perfect healthcare or healthy heaven on the earth. As it widely noticed that the is no or low place for ethics in health sciences education, I started my first step to investigate this notice with its strange phenomena. With Curriculum Documentary Analysis, a survey study was conduct to explore the place and significance of ethics in the Saudi Arabian Health Professions Education and Practice (SAHPEP) .
• As it is expected, all participants the physicians, dentists, pharmacists, nurses and the applied medical assistants 347 (100%) said "Ethics is significance for their professions. The results were more stranger, almost there is no place for modern ethics in many SAHPEP, the majority have no idea about code of ethics and many have no idea about code of conduct. Almost they taught Islamic culture that we taught during general education in high schools. It is true that almost all Islamic cultures are ethics but my argument that we do not practice, we have to move Islamic ethics to be practice in our professional competencies.

3-1: Probing Nature & Historical Development of Ethics:
Since spirituality comes from “Spirit” it have huge meaning and concepts, the most literature health related are:
• Worldwide: Religious; Moral; Believe Values; Ethics; Mediation; contemplation; Self; Nature, Devine & cosmos or unitary Universe
• As Muslims, we strongly belief that Allah” the Only God created ‘Adam’ in a perfect shape and manner, in optimum state of a human ‘person’, with perfect body including miracles’ Heart, Mind, and Spirit the top wonder secrete. History of medicine discovered many of these miracles mainly body with mind and heart and unstable ideas about spirit, moral and ethics. The best structure can be summarized in:

4. Conclusion & Recommendations
As the first as national and regional level, this results of this study achieved its objectives. It explore that ethics have a place in the most popular national HPE colleges and programs. However, one course means ethic place is low compare to its significance amongst 347 (100%) of the surveyed health professionals. Finally, the study asserts urgent action to move ethics from culture to professional practice and education. This assert can be applied soon by introducing more than one course in the curriculum of all health professions education programs, plus developing national laws codes of conducts, plus codes of ethics are very essentials and urgent
