While Dr. Gail Weingast officially became a physician in 1976, it was kind of obvious that medicine wasn’t her first choice, given that her first degree was in Spanish, not pre-med. As usual for a doctor, of course, graduating medical school was just the beginning. Dr. Gail Weingast did a pediatrics internship from 1976-1977 at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. That was followed by a residency in pediatrics over the next two years, a radiology residency from 1980-1983.

Dr. Gail Weingast then competed a fellowship in ultrasound technology in 1983 and she completed her post-graduate studies as a radiologist from 1983 to 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver. She then practiced at several other hospitals in Colorado and New York, until she settled into her current position, as a highly regarded radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut, where she has been for more than a couple decades. She is currently their Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging andshe has led her department to its current position as one of the top such facilities in the country. 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.

The medical educational journey of Dr. Gail Weingast began in 1969, when she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Spanish Jackson College, Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts. Obviously, given that her first degree was not at all medical, it is not certain that she always wanted to be a doctor. Something happened, however, because by 1976, shew graduated with a medical degree from the Boston University School of Medicine. That is when she officially became Dr. Gail Weingast.

After she finished medical school, Dr. Gail Weingast continued her educational pursuits. She completed a pediatrics internship and then a two-year residency in pediatrics, followed by the completion of a three-year radiology residency, all by 1983, at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. She followed that with a fellowship in the field of ultrasound in 1983 at the same hospital, although Dr. Gail Weingast completed her post-graduate studies at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver. That course of study was as a radiologist and it ended in 1984.

There are many medical professionals that do not actively seek out ways to improve in their field, or if they do seek extended education, it is for their own gain. This is not the case for Gail Weingast MD. She has worked for over twenty years as a radiologist, Chief of Ultrasound, and Chief of Breast imaging at the William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut. And while she has reached great heights in her field of medicine, she is always seeking out ways to improve for the betterment of her patients and those that report to her. Gail Weingast MD believes in the ever improving world of technology and modern discovery in terms of medical advances and works hard to stay up to date with them all.

Most people who know Dr. Gail Weingast regard her as one of the best in the radiology field. She is best known as a highly regarded radiology specialist at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut. Currently she serves as their Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging, but there is a lot more to her than that. In fact, during her 20-year-stint at Backus, she has guided their radiology department to its current status as one of the premiere such facilities in the region, the country and the world.

Of course, her path to her current status as one of the best radiologists anywhere was a long one and it wasn't always a straight line. You see, her decision to become a doctor wasn’t a calling she received as a teen. In fact, in 1969, Gail Weingast graduated Tufts University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish she obtained at that school’s Jackson College. The medical school bug apparently hit her soon after, however, as she attended Boston University School of Medicine and officially became Dr. Gail Weingast M.D. in 1976. Of course, that wasn’t all of her schooling. She went to Denver, Colorado, where Dr. Gail Weingast completed a pediatrics internship, a pediatric residency, a radiology residency, and a fellowship in the field of ultrasound, all between 1976 and 1983 under the guidance of doctors at Colorado General Hospital. At St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver, Dr. Gail Weingast completed her post-graduate studies as a radiologist in 1984.

Not long after that, Dr. Gail Weingast worked at several other hospitals, mostly in Colorado, but also in New York, before she finally found herself at Backus Hospital, where she has since become something of a legend as a radiology specialist. In all, Dr. Gail Weingast has more than 40 years’ experience and has been able to help a lot of people in that time.

These days, Dr. Gail Weingast serves as the Chief of Ultrasound and Breast Imaging at William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut. She seems to like it there because she’s been there for more than two decades, which means more than half of her four-decade career. Over time, Dr. Weingast has become one of the most important radiological specialists in the New England region and the rest of the country. And she values every aspect of her career because it all made her the doctor she is today.

It apparently wasn’t clear to Gail that she wanted a career in medicine at the very beginning, since her first educational achievement was to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish from Jackson College at prestigious Tufts University. It didn’t take long to get the medicine bug, however, since she soon became a medical student at the Boston University School of Medicine, earning a medical degree and officially becoming Gail Weingast MD in 1976.

That was, of course, just the beginning of her education. Following medical school, Dr. Gail Weingast spent a lot of time at Colorado General Hospital in Denver, which is where she completed a pediatrics internship and a residency program in pediatrics over the following two years. At the same hospital, she also completed a radiology residency and a fellowship in ultrasound between 1980-1983. Dr. Weingast her post-graduate studies as a radiologist from 1983 to 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also in Denver. Dr. Gail Weingast worked at several other hospitals, mostly in Colorado, but also in New York, before she settled into Backus hospital, where she has been for more than two decades.
