Name: Daniel Weiswasser

Graduation Year: '92

address: 8 Cottage Street 3rd Floor New Haven, CT 06511

occupation: Physician (currently 1st year resident in Medicine-Pediatrics program at Yale New Haven Hospital) Email address: daniel.weiswasser@umassmed.edu

I was a software consultant for two years in Boston following graduation from Williams. I then pursued post-bac pre-med coursework at Harvard while doing research in Reproductive Endocrinology at Massachusetts General Hospital.

I began medical school at UMass in 1996 and just started a four-year residency in the combined speciality of Medicine-Pediatrics at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

I enjoyed my time in philosophy at Williams, and, although I haven't pursued my studies in philosophy academically, I like to think that many aspects of my philosophy training, especially in the areas of metaphysics and ethics, have played a strong role in my approach to medicine.

I have to admit that it is somewhat saddening that the only remaining person in the philosophy department with whom I studied is Prof. White. I had excellent experiences with Prof. White but Profs. Weissbord and Clayton also had strong impacts on me. Their scandalous departures remain sore spots (and not just for me, I'd imagine).

Please feel free to contact me at any time.
