KAIMRC Academy presents Clinical Research Quality, Medication Safety and Ethics — From Principles to Practice, a one-day course on Thursday, 8 October 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Participants can attend on site at Conference Room GR 497, ground floor, Administration Building, KSAU-HS, Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia, or join online through Microsoft Teams. The event brings research quality, safe medication practice and ethical responsibilities into a single practical learning experience.
The course is relevant to clinical researchers and research coordinators; physicians, pharmacists, nurses and allied health professionals; members of ethics and quality committees; and faculty, staff, students and trainees in the health sciences. It is led by Dr. Rawabi Al-Abdulgader, PharmD, RPh, of King Abdullah International Medical Research Center.
Learning objectives
According to the organizer's course flyer, participants will work through six learning objectives:
- Describe the key principles of clinical research quality and their role in compliance and research integrity.
- Differentiate between quality assurance and quality control in clinical research practice.
- Identify common medication safety risks and factors that contribute to medication errors.
- Apply evidence-based strategies to improve medication safety and reduce errors in clinical practice.
- Explain fundamental principles of research ethics, including informed consent and protection of participants.
- Analyze case scenarios involving quality, safety and ethics and propose appropriate actions.
These objectives connect the governance of clinical studies with decisions made in everyday clinical care. Quality assurance and quality control address different parts of the research process, while medication-safety discussions focus on recognizing risks and taking practical steps to reduce avoidable errors. The ethics portion centers on informed consent, research integrity and the duty to protect people taking part in research. Case scenarios bring the strands together so attendees can consider how to respond when quality, safety and ethical concerns intersect. The organizer has published these objectives, but has not supplied a timed, session-by-session agenda.
