Hi, I’m Thomas “Gus” Almonroeder. I’m a clinician, scholar, and educator with a passion for helping health professions students succeed academically and professionally.

Over the years, I’ve worked with students across various health professions. No matter the discipline, I see the same pattern again and again: hardworking, capable students who never really learned how to study effectively.

To help address this need, I wrote Learning That Lasts, a practical book on how learning and memory actually work. I also created an asynchronous online course, Study Like A Pro, which expands on the book with examples and guided practice.

Both resources are designed to give students evidence-based strategies they can use to improve their studying, reading comprehension, and note-taking. I also cover time management, organization, and other skills that support effective learning in demanding programs.
