RESUMEN
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.

BACKGROUND: As expert clinicians are recruited to academic positions in response to nursing faculty shortages, comprehensive plans are needed for transitioning and role development. PROBLEM: Schools of nursing often lack infrastructures to support and develop new faculty. APPROACH: Team members from an academic-clinical partnership with the Department of Veterans Affairs created a competency-based faculty development plan. OUTCOMES: A comprehensive self-directed faculty development plan was established that included a needs assessment, competency-based guide, and online modular resources. CONCLUSION: The faculty development plan provides a tailored approach to support the transition of clinicians to the academic role. This strategy is a potential solution to addressing the faculty shortage, retention, and role strain issues and builds capacity in schools of nursing. This innovative plan is a first step in establishing a mechanism to measure faculty competencies and professional growth.

Aneurysms of aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafts are a rare complication of coronary artery bypass grafts. The authors report the incidental finding of four aneurysms in two aortocoronary saphenous vein bypass grafts in a 77-year-old man with progressive generalized weakness, left facial drooping, and digitalis toxicity. A brief review of the literature on this rare condition is also provided.
