OBJECTIVE： To construct a collaborative relationship model between clinical pharmacists and physicians which is suitable for medical situations in China， and to provide guidance and reference for the relevant research. METHODS： Guided by theories relating to collaborative relationship， combined with the existing collaborative theories and practices of collaboration between pharmacists and physicians， the model was constructed through model synthesis， and was revised and improved on the basis of expert interview. Finally， the theory of the model was constructed. RESULTS： The collaborative relationship model of clinical pharmacists and physicians in China （CPPCR） was built， which was composed of five collaborative levels and three types of collaborative factors. Five collaborative levels included collaborative demand germination period， collaborative value identification period， collaborative relationship bonding period， collaborative mode strengthening period and collaborative relationship establishment period， while three types of collaborative factors included individual characteristics， work environment characteristics and interactive characteristics of clinical pharmacists and physicians. CONCLUSIONS： CPPCR is helpful to provide reference and basis for promoting their collaborative relationship and the development of related research.
