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.
