Beginning her collegiate journey in 1969 at Jackson College, Tufts University, in Medford, Massachusetts, Dr. Weingast earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish. However, the allure of the medical realm beckoned, prompting her transition to Boston University School of Medicine, where she attained her MD degree in 1976, assuming the title of Dr. Gail Weingast, MD.
In the ensuing years, Dr. Weingast embarked on a series of training programs at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. This included a pediatrics internship and residency, followed by a residency in radiology. Subsequently, she further honed her expertise by completing a post-graduate degree as a radiologist in 1984 at St. Anthony’s Hospital, also located in Denver.
