Tyler Reinking, M.D., grew up in Summit County, Colo., with two science teachers as parents and naturally loved both being outside and learning about science. He became particularly interested in the human body and proceeded to study exercise physiology in college. Reinking gradually became interested in medicine as a career, particularly after taking a class that taught him how exercise prevents and treats chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
Reinking received his Doctor of Medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science as well as his Master of Science, Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, at Montana State University. He completed his residency at Spokane Internal Medicine Residency.
“I enjoy general internal medicine because I get to work with the whole body and a huge range of diagnoses and treatments,” Dr. Reinking explained. Through his educational background in exercise physiology and nutrition, he continues to have a special interest in metabolism, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and obesity.
