Whereas many medical professionals are led by a calling to their ultimate position, that was not necessarily the case for Dr. Gail Weingast. In fact, when she commenced her education in 1969, Gail attended Tufts University’s Jackson College,where she proceeded to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish. Not pre-med, but Spanish. Whatever the case, she changed her mind, because she was soon matriculating at the Boston University School of Medicine, where she officially became Dr. Gail Weingast MD in 1976.
At Colorado General Hospital in Denver after medical school, Dr. Gail Weingast completed a pediatrics internship in 1976-1977 and followed that with a residency in pediatrics, which she completed in 1978. At the same hospital, she completed a radiology residency from 1980 to 1983 and a fellowship in the field of ultrasound in 1983. Finally, Dr. Weingast completed her post-graduate studies as a radiologist from 1983 to 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver.
Dr. Gail Weingast then practiced at several other Colorado hospitals and then in New York, before she finally landed in her current position, where she is a highly regarded radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut. As that facility’s Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging, where she has been for a couple decades, she has taken a leading role in guiding her department into its current very prominent position as a premiere medical facility. Her four-plus decades of knowledge and experience certainly helped. Now, Dr. Gail Weingast values every aspect of her educational and career journey because it has all contributed to make her the doctor she is today.
