🎙️ The Host Response — Episode 10: Out of Step

Ever had your careful, evidence-based plan shot down by your attending with little more than a shrug and a “let’s do the opposite”? You’re not alone.

In this episode, Dr. Paul Bunce unpacks the uneasy moments when trainees and attendings seem just a little out of sync — not wrong, just misaligned. He reflects on the subtle signals that shape trust, the risk of defaulting to “what the attending wants,” and the importance of sharing not just your plan, but your reasoning.

Whether you’re a resident trying to find your footing or an attending navigating the balance between correction and collaboration, this conversation explores how mismatched frames can quietly undermine learning — and how to get back in step.
