Roles are swapped, not combined, so the new role applies from then on. Earlier actions keep what they did, so you can take two actions as the Dispatcher and the next two as the Medic. The one carry-over is the Generalist's five actions for the turn. A Contingency Planner who is reassigned discards the Event stored on the role.
