When the future Dr. Gail Weingast began her education in 1969, it seems as if medicine wasn’t her calling. That must have changed shortly, though because after she attended Jackson College, Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts to get a degree in Spanish, she turned her attention to a medical degree from the Boston University School of Medicine. Following medical school, Dr. Weingast spent plenty of time at Colorado General Hospital, where she completed an internship and a residency program in pediatrics, followed by a residency in radiology and a fellowship in ultrasound.

Dr. Weingast completed her post-graduate studies as a radiologist in 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital. Both hospitals were in Denver. She worked at several other hospitals, mostly in Colorado, but also in New York, before she settled into her current hospital, William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, where she is the Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging and one of the most prominent radiology specialists in the country. Dr. Gail Weingast is now the Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging. From that position, she has led her entire department into its current position as a premiere medical facility.

After about a quarter century of admirable skill and effort, Dr. Gail Weingast, whose career as a radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut has made her one of the best, has managed totransform that facility’s radiology department into one of the best. Few would argue that it’s the best in New England, at the very least. Dr. Gail Weingast has used her education and her experience to develop enviable skills that help to bring the radiology profession into the future.

As the Backus Hospital’s Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging these days, she can look back on her considerable and be happy about what she has accomplished. So far, she has managed to guide her department into its current position as one of the top radiological facilities in the nation. Perhaps it is her more than four decades of knowledge and experience that gives Dr. Gail Weingast the knowledge to get this done, but she values every aspect of her educational and career journey because it all contributed to making her the doctor she is today.

While Gail Weingast’s career effectively started when she attended Jackson College, Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts, it was certainly not obvious that medicine would be her calling, given that her first Bachelor of Arts degree was in Spanish, nor pre-med, or biology or anything like that. Something must have occurred to her soon after, however, since she decided to attend the Boston University School of Medicine, where she officially became Dr. Gail Weingast in 1976. As is the case with virtually any doctor, medical school was just the beginning.

Following med school, Dr. Gail Weingast did a pediatrics internship from 1976-1977, a residency in pediatrics over 1978-1979, and a radiology residency between 1980-1983, all at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. She followed that with a fellowship in ultrasound technology in 1983, also at Colorado General. Dr. Gail Weingast completed her post-graduate studies as a radiologist at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver, in 1983. She then practiced at several other hospitals in Colorado and New York, until she settled into her current position, where she has been for 20 years.

Over all, with more than four decades of knowledge and experience, Dr. Weingast values every aspect of her educational and career journey because it has all contributed to make her the doctor she is today. Currently, Dr. Gail Weingast is a highly regarded radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, a hospital where she has been settle in for more than two decades. She currently serves at that facility’s Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging and, over the course of her time there, she has been able to guide her department into its current position as one of the top such facilities in the country.

Soon after Dr. Gail Weingast finished her medical education in 1983, having completed enough internships and residencies to be qualified as a radiologist, she worked at several hospitals in Colorado and New York, before she finally settled into the position she has called home for more than two decades. Now, Dr. Gail Weingast is considered a highly regarded radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, where she is the Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging. At Backus, she has created a department that is considered one of the best in the region.

While her path to her current important position wasn't always a straight line, Dr. Gail Weingast values every aspect of her journey because it all made her the doctor she is today. She is even fond of her first educational experience, where she attended Tufts University’s Jackson College and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish because it had a hand in making her choose a medical career.

Although her career path was a bit different from many others in her field of radiology, Dr. Gail Weingast wouldn’t have done it any other way. It is most certainly her education and career experience that has turned her into the prominent doctor she is today. When she started her career path, it wasn’t with medicine in mind. She started college in 1969, at Jackson College, Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish.

Before long, however, the medical field must have called to her because she was soon attending the Boston University School of Medicine, where she became Dr. Gail Weingast MD in 1976. Following that, she completed a pediatrics internship and a pediatric residency over the next few years and followed that up with a radiology residency, all from Colorado General Hospital in Denver. She then completed a post-graduate degree as a radiologist in 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver.
