# Gulf Med Ethics

> Independent online CPD courses on ethics, professionalism and remediation for healthcare practitioners in the Gulf. The Saudi Arabia edition is open: 31 self-paced courses for SCFHS-registered, MOH-licensed practitioners, written around the Law of Practicing Healthcare Professions, the SCFHS Code of Ethics and MOH rules. Courses take 2, 3 or 4 hours (SAR 229, 279 or 319), end with a scenario-based assessment (80% to pass) and a dated certificate of completion, and include a reflective account template. Gulf Med Ethics is not affiliated with or accredited by SCFHS, MOH or any regulator; SCFHS decides how any learning counts towards registration.

Other Gulf editions (UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain) are planned and not open yet. Prices are in Saudi riyals; 3 or more courses in one order save SAR 115, 5 or more SAR 175, 10 or more SAR 290.
