Ethics education aims to help university students understand moral principles, and analyze and define their own values. The study aimed to determine the level of awareness of the medical ethics among the six undergraduate colleges at the University of Tabuk. The subjects were chosen using systematic sampling technique (response rate was 99.8%). Majority of the students (58.5%) mentioned that the source of their knowledge was from lectures/seminars/clinical discussions, while 20.7% derived the knowledge from mass media and (8.6%) derived the knowledge from literature and medical journals as well. It was observed that 59% of undergraduates know about medical ethics, while 33% don’t know about medical ethics. Maximum number (84.6%) of the university students agreed that ethical issues are very important in their lives. A high value (56.8%) of ethics of healthcare practitioners was reported towards himself. A medium response was obtained from our responders with respect to well-reception of the patient, smiling at his face (56%),listening well to the patient's complaint and understanding his suffering (54%)and respect to the patient whatever his status (57%)..There is a pressing need to implement the ethics education in all colleges in the University of Tabuk to understand moral principles and analyze and define their own values.
