Joe Slovak (Matthew Modine) is a medical student from the wrong side of the tracks; he’s brilliant, but everything’s a joke to Joe. He’s never on time, and he never studies – or does he? He certainly “studies” his lab partner, Laurie Rorbach (Daphne Zuniga), in the human dissection class (Gross Anatomy 101, from which the film takes its name) taught by Dr. Rachel Woodruff (Christine Lahti) and Dr. Banumbra (Zakes Mokae)a class which they must pass, or be drummed out of medical school. At first, neither Laurie nor Dr. Woodruff care much for Joe, or his nonchalant attitude. However, Laurie and the other two members of their study group (one of whom is pregnant unexpectedly) eventually see that Joe’s real problem is that he cares too much, when Joe helps drive the pregnant woman, in full labor, to the hospital in the middle of studying for final exams. Dr. Woodruff is irritated by Joe’s tendency to downplay the importance of both her class and his future patients, but when she comes to learn what makes Joe tick, she shares a secret with him that forever changes his outlook on his future career as a doctor.
