Enhancing Pediatric Acute Care Through Adaptive E-Learning and In-Person Skills Practice in Tanzania

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether the integration of in-person skills practice (ISP) with an adaptive e-learning platform can improve refresher learning progress (RLP) among healthcare providers in pediatric care settings in Tanzania. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can healthcare providers who participate in ISP sessions facilitated by clinical champions achieve greater improvements in refresher learning progress (RLP)? Will providers in the intervention group demonstrate improved metacognition and practical skill performance compared to those in the control group? Researchers will compare healthcare providers using the ISP digital platform (Rhapsode Capable™) to providers using paper-based ISP to see if the digital platform results in significantly higher RLP and fewer skill-based errors. Participants will: Complete adaptive e-learning modules focused on pediatric care topics (e.g., newborn resuscitation, severe malnutrition). Participate in ISP sessions where clinical champions provide feedback and assess performance.
