Abstract

Objective: To describe the development process of a multiprofessional training pathway in palliative care, designed as an educational intervention. Method: This methodological, descriptive educational-intervention development study was conducted in four interrelated stages: documentary analysis of the National Curriculum Guidelines for health-related degree programs; assessment of training needs among 316 students and health professionals from the southern region of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil; pedagogical systematization of the evidence for intervention development; and expert validation. Results: The identified needs informed content selection, teaching strategies, participation formats, and curricular progression. The pathway was structured as a short-term hybrid course comprising 24 hours distributed across seven modules. Validation by five experts showed high agreement, with an overall content validity coefficient of 0.972, and supported terminological, organizational, and pedagogical adjustments. Conclusion: The process transformed curricular and empirical evidence into a progressive, context-sensitive, multiprofessional educational intervention. Expert validation confirmed the adequacy of its content, organization, and pedagogical approach and contributed to its refinement before implementation.
