Youth Corps

The Starfleet Medical Corps: Youth Corps is a devision of Starfleet Medical dedicated to youth.

Origin of Youth Corps
Starfleet Medical is a Star Trek fan club. We have a medical mission, but one of the most important missions of a fan club is to have fun. When the kids watch the Star Trek TV shows they don't see cadets(there are a few exceptions), they see Starfleet Officers being portrayed on screen. Kids want to be like their on screen heroes. This program allows them to be.

Ranks
All ranks earned in the Youth Corps are provisional ranks or junior ranks. At the end of their service in the Youth Corps they will automatically attain the full rank of ensign. Often Youth Corps service is identical to adult service and their accomplishments will carry over into their adult service. This being the case, some members of the Youth Corps may attain a rank higher than ensign or even as high as lieutenant.

Junior Ranks
All of the following ranks have an implied "Junior" in front of them.

Midshipman
This is the entry level rank of all members and it is the same in the Youth Corps.
