Delphi method is a kind of forecasting method with several rounds of consultation with experts. It has three major characteristics including anonymity,information feedback and statistical analysis of results. With the continuous development of the method,its application fields is widened from the initial development of sociology to clinical medicine,psychology,nursing and so on. Since pharmacy and clinical medicine is inseparable,Delphi method used in pharmacy field has become the new direction of pharmaceutical research,and it can provide a new method for the pharmaceutical regulations,medical risk assessment and development of clinical pharmacy. In the paper,the application of Delphi method in the field of pharmacy was summarized in order to provide new ideas for the development of pharmacy.
