Born on March 5, 1917 in in New Orleans, Louisiana, he graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1940. After six years there he received degrees from the college, medical school and graduate school. One summer he studied and visited medical schools abroad, and one summer he studied at the Mayo Clinic. He interned at the Gorgas Hospital in Panama. While still in medical school, Dr. Wilmer published seven original medical papers in highly reputable journals. Two of these won prizes.
