We’re feeling really good here at Gunner. We’ve teamed up with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, added 800 rich new images to the site, and redesigned the topic view page to provide a cleaner interaction with our content. But why let the air of celebration end with that? We want to keep the momentum going [...]
Autumn is setting in about us. The sweaters are coming out, the warm beverage intake is steadily climbing, and the time spent indoors studying is on the rise. What better time to bolster Gunner’s offerings in the way of illustrations, photographs, and diagrams? We’ve teamed up with medical publishing giant [...]
Every now and then, something happens to us to make us think the world’s gone mad. Britney shaved her head, the Octamom tried to have more kids and Simon left Idol. What we don’t expect is that these earth shattering changes will occur in the most sacred of all places: our study space. Sort of [...]
Sometimes when we’re studying we want to start fresh in one or several subjects, go back to a clean slate and attack things again. Our users have long been able to reset their accounts, but the process was far from ideal: they had to send us a reset request and we had to do it [...]
A 42 year old migrant Mexican farm worker comes to the emergency room complaining of fever and chest pain. The pain started 3 days ago and is substernal and does not radiate. As you examine the patient you notice that the pain seems to get worse while he is laying down, and improves somewhat when [...]
Applications for Gunner Training Ambassadors!

Of course, our usage of the pronoun “gunner” is really just a play on words. If you’re an overly competitive student and perceive your classmates as emotionless competitors, we’re [...]
It’s July. New interns are trying to figure out how the whole night float thing works, new fourth years are either working hard in away rotations or enjoying some well earned downtime during ‘soft’ rotations, and third years are getting the hang of the wards as their Step 1 scores come trickling in. It’s this [...]
For a long time now people have been asking for keyboard shortcuts for reviewing questions on Gunner. Self-proclaimed “power users” have told us that if they could leave their mouse on the corner of their desks and just use the keyboard to run through their reviews, they could get through more questions in less time. [...]
We need an education system that helps us retain what we’ve learned!
“Each summer, our kids lose about a month of progress in math and that low-income students lose as much as three months’ worth of reading comprehension. Again, that’s each summer. More than a month of teaching time at the beginning of the school [...]
Ever since it was released last year, I’ve been wanting to read Tony Hsieh’s book about how he built his Zappos shoe empire on making customer service his entire company, not just a single department. It’s not a very expensive book, affordable even on a medical student’s paltry budget. I suppose I’ve just [...]
