The Results 3-4: SURVEY the HPs Perceptions: 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.

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. Further, 344 ( 99.14%) support my nation that 'there is no quality without ethics'. Finally, the study asserts urgent action to move ethics from culture to professional practice and education. This claim can be applied soon by introducing more than one course in the curriculum of all health professions education programs, plus developing national laws or codes of conduct, and national codes of ethics are very essentials for every profession, not one for all .
