Tyra Fainstad, MD
Internal Medicine
Board Certified
Care Philosophy
I believe practicing primary care truly encompasses lifelong learning. I am deeply fulfilled by long-term relationships with patients and enjoy the partnership that being a primary care doctor offers with people of all walks of life.
Clinical Interest for Patients
My clinical interests include: medical education (specifically trainee wellbeing, feedback delivery and reception), managing chronic diseases, women’s care and LGBTQ care.
Title(s)
The term “visiting” is applied to all new faculty assigned a higher rank at the time of their recruitment and is not indicative of the provider's permanent status as a CU Doctor. The descriptor is removed once they have been formally reviewed by the University’s promotion committee.
