Then two rounds of expert consultation with 16 experts in relevant fields by Delphi method was conducted. 【Results:】 The positive coefficients of the two rounds of expert consultation were 89% and 100%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients of the two rounds were both 0.89. The Kendall coefficient of the second round was 0.196 to 0.328 (P<0.05). The final form of palliative care training course for medical student volunteers was consisted of 5 primary indicators (training objective, training content, training hour, training method, and assessment method), 23 secondary indicators, and 41 tertiary indicators. 【Conclusion:】 The palliative care training course for medical student volunteers is comprehensive and practical in content, scientific and reliable in construction, which can be used for hospice care institutions to provide palliative care volunteer service training for medical student volunteers, in order to improve the quality of volunteer service.
