Approximately 50 years ago, in 1969, the first men landed on the moon and future doctor Gail Weingast attended Jackson College at Tufts University, where she obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish. While that might seem to indicate that medicine wasn’t necessarily a calling, that sure changed soon after that, because she attended the Boston University School of Medicine and became Dr. Gail Weingast MD in 1976.

Following med school, as is usual for doctors Dr. Gail Weingast did a two-year pediatrics internship and a two-year pediatrics residency, followed by a three-year residency in radiology and a fellowship ultrasound, all under the auspices of Colorado General Hospital in Denver. She completed that in 1983, but Dr. Gail Weingast wasn’t finished. She finally completed her post-graduate studies as a radiologist in 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver. Since then, Dr. Gail Weingast has learned even more, to the point that she has become a prominent radiologist in her own right and she also has led her radiology department to become the best in New England and beyond.

Dr. Gail Weingast would go through the process of ten years of education, followed by extensive time spent in the pediatric ward to performing residencies and fellowships in Ultrasound and radiology before establishing her career. This journey that she took gave more insights and abilities that allowed her to help people. And it was during these experiences, that she founded and developed her career. While she worked at Colorado General Hospital for a number of years, serving in several different positions in several different departments, Dr. Gail Weingast was able to get a feel for what was required for a plethora of departments and positions. Dr. Gail Weingast is now a radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital, in Norwich, Connecticut.
