Clinton E. Warner, Jr. earned his medical degree from Meharry Medical School in Nashville in 1951, graduating summa cum laude. The start of his medical education was delayed by World War II; from 1942 to 1946 he served in the U.S. Army and participated in the D-Day invasion of France. After medical school, Warner completed an internship in Chicago and his surgical training at Homer G. Phillips Hospital in St. Louis. He then entered private practice in Atlanta and specialized in breast diseases. Dr. Warner was also active in the civil rights movement, and in 1967 he founded the first minority medical surgical group the Atlanta Surgical Professional Association.
