Education Fellow
Mayo Clinic Military Medicine, Arizona, United States
George Tillman is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces Medical Sergeant (18D) and former U.S. Marine, now continuing his mission of service through a career in medicine. With over a decade of operational experience in austere and high-risk environments, George provided frontline trauma care, led medical training for U.S. and foreign forces, and advised on Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) medical readiness.
Following retirement, George was selected as an Education Fellow at Mayo Clinic, where he serves as a liaison between civilian medical experts and military special operations teams. In this role, he develops military-specific medical curricula, coordinates interagency training, and contributes to research focused on improving care in resource-limited settings.
George is intermediate level speaker in Arabic and Spanish, holds a Bachelor’s in Clinical Health Sciences, and has been accepted to the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) program at Lincoln Memorial University–DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM), where he will begin studies in July 2025. His professional interests include family medicine, emergency medicine, and medical education, with a commitment to serving underserved and veteran populations.
He brings a rare blend of tactical expertise, academic discipline, and cultural competence to his work—qualities forged through real-world experience and a lifelong dedication to service. George continues to apply the same values that guided his military career: leadership, adaptability, and compassion.
