Patrick - took a look at the opening pages.


Quoted Text
INT. MCGOVERN MEDICAL SCHOOL - CLASSROOM - DAY

In a lecture room, students are seated. a PROFESSOR leads a
class in a discussion.


STUDENTS should be capped. Would also be nice to have some kind of description so we get a sense of the demographics and a description of the Professor as well.

You don't need "in a lecture room". It's already implied in the scene heading.


Quoted Text
PROFESSOR
Now students, who can tell me some
of the advantages of Radiotherapy
as opposed to Surgery? Oh and do
try to answer without Doctor
Google.


Typo - radiotherapy and surgery should not start with a capital letter.


Quoted Text
RUTH
The use of Multi-beam radiation
caused by the use of high - energy
cross - killing cancer cells.


Typo - multi-beam should not start with a capital letter.


Quoted Text
ELIJAH
Strong anti-mitotic cells, is an
important means of Cancer
treatment.


cancer - not Cancer


Quoted Text
PROFESSOR
Correct, okay class enough for
today. One month until your
assignments are due. Tomorrows
class commences at ten.


should be Tomorrow's


Quoted Text
The class break up and exit the room.


Not correct.

Should be the class breaks up and exits the room

- or

The students break up and exit the room.


Quoted Text
RUTH
That is okay I feel like such an
Idiot, not if medicine is what I
really want to do any-how.


Probably need a period after idiot.

Should be: ...not if as medicine...


Quoted Text
RUTH
Thanks, but I just can’t get my
head around some of this. The names
Ruth by the way.


should be "the name's Ruth by the way.


Quoted Text
ELIJAH
Nice to meet you, say not be too
forward or none, how about we meet
at the Chick-fil-A?


Should be a period after you. Say should start the next sentence.

RUTH
Don’t be I’ll go, say six okay for
Y’all.

Missing a period after be.


Quoted Text
INT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT
Elijah and Ruth sit a booth, ruth has her text books and note
pad in a bag on the floor. Elijah finishes the last of his
fries.


Ruth not ruth.

So - that's just two pages and just what happened to hit my eye. You have an issue with grammar and that is going to distract many readers. I would check out some sites that help in this regard - Grammerly is a good one and there is a version that is free.

Best of luck.

One thing I forgot to mention, your Jihadist villians did really come across as sadistic, misogynistic  assholes.

You should watch Channel 4/ National Geographic's TV mini THE STATE. It has incredible insights into ISIS.
