About The Gunner

Sophia Abney comes from a disadvantaged background and wins a full scholarship to medical school - a life-changing opportunity for her family. But surrounded by wealthier, more polished classmates from elite institutions, she quickly finds herself struggling to keep up. 

 Everything changes when Miles Sebastian, a razor-sharp fourth-year student, takes her under his wing and teaches her the “Gunner Rules” - a set of ruthlessly effective tactics for getting ahead. Sophia starts to climb. But as her tactics grow more aggressive and the line between ambition and ethics begins to blur, she’s forced to confront a question every student eventually faces: how far is too far? 

 Sharp, funny and unflinchingly honest, “The Gunner” is a satirical, insider’s look at the pressure-cooker world of modern medical education, written by someone who has spent his career inside it.
