ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Effective interprofessional team-based care relies critically on understanding and valuing the role of each team member. Using role reversal with multiple levels of interprofessional education trainees, we developed an in-situ simulation learning experience to enhance team-based care coordination. METHOD: A mixed-methods approach was used to examine participants' readiness, perceived value, and attitude toward interprofessional learning using in-situ simulation in the context of role reversal. RESULTS: Data collected to explore the attitudes related to collaboration in solving a complex clinical case revealed that trainees valued the interprofessional educational (IPE) experience, perceived simulation-based learning as conducive to understanding professional roles, and recognized the value of a team-based approach to Veteran-centered care. CONCLUSION: In-situ simulation using role reversal provides a rich and practical approach for IPE implementation where interdisciplinary role appreciation and team-based care can be promoted.
