In this randomized clinical trial of an adaptable, low-cost, high-fidelity neonatal ventilation simulator, effective training across heterogeneous learner groups in a resource-limited setting was supported; tailoring simulator feedback to learners’ baseline experience enhanced training effectiveness. These findings support the feasibility of scalable, simulation-based neonatal ventilation training in low-resource environments. Further research on skill retention, transfer to clinical practice, and neonatal outcomes are needed.
