Dr. Rhynold is originally from Saskatoon and completed her medical school and internal medicine residency at the U of S. Dr. Rhynold then undertook Geriatric Medicine Subspecialty training at University of British Columbia in Vancouver.

Dr. Rhynold has extensive experience working with people living with dementia contributing to their frailty. She is also a newer member of the Canadian Medication Appropriateness and Deprescribing Network Health Care Provider Committee.
