After the War, he attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, and the University of Tennessee Medical School in Memphis. In September, 1960, Warren graduated from medical school with a perfect 4.0 grade point average. His excellent academic achievement opened many doors of opportunity. He initially was in private practice in Florida, and later joined the Medical Department of the Tennessee Valley Authority, after he obtained a Masters in Public Health (M.P.H.) from the University of Pittsburgh.
