description [Abstract]: Objective: The proposal and practice of holistic integrative pharmacy plays an important role in guiding the higher education of pharmacy in China. The purpose of this study is to establish an elective course system in line with holistic integrative pharmacy talent training. Methods: A project research team was established, responsible for compiling the expert consultation questionnaires. The Delphi method was used to conduct two rounds of expert consultation. After statistical analysis, the indicators were further screened and optimized. Results: A total of 69 experts participated in the two rounds of consultation. The recovery rate of questionnaires was 100%, and the expert authority coefficient was 0.85 ± 0.12, indicating that the experts were highly motivated and authoritative. The coordination coefficients of the two rounds of expert opinions were 0.476 (P < 0.05) and 0.152 (P < 0.05), respectively. According to the inclusion criteria of the index system, and taking expert opinions and suggestions into full consideration, the project research team decided to remove a total of six courses and add six courses to replace them. Finally, the pharmacy elective course system of “24 + X” courses was established. Conclusion: The Delphi method is used to construct a more scientific and reasonable pharmacy elective course system that conforms to the goal of holistic integrative pharmacy personnel training. This system needs to be further improved in practice.
