There's no background information explaining how Tsunade became a medical-nin
or how she learned medical ninjutsu. She didn't have a medical specialist
mentor. Maybe she did have one, but there's no source or background
information to prove it.

There is a possibility that she learned medical ninjutsu all by herself, as
she often read other clans' medical books to solve particular problems.
