| Personal History | Jeremiah “James” McEntyre, Jr was born on Earth in Dallas, Texas on 18 June 2257, to Jeremiah McEntyre and his Wife, Stella. He grew up on a ranch that was over 300 acres for him to explore and wander, where he quickly bonded with the animals and ranch hands that worked on the ranch, much like his father did when he was brought to Earth as a child. Jeremiah was inspired by his grandmother’s and father’s work as a doctor, making his focus on Surgery and Internal Medicine. He entered the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School upon graduating from High School in 2275 with MCATs in the Top 15 Percentile, much better than his fathers scores. He found it easy though as a Human/Caitain hybrid to make friends, though they did not last long. This affected James greatly, leading to some mild depression which was treated with counseling and medications. He graduated with Honors and was accepted to Starfleet in 2279 as a surgical resident, training aboard the United Starship Midway under legendary surgeon, Marc Kitchner. He completed his residency in 2283 and was commissioned into the fleet thereafter, being assigned to the frontier aboard United Starship Excalibur as a Surgeon in Late 2283, completing his tour in 2288. He was assigned to the Excelsior Class U.S.S. Hornet (NCC-2005) as a Surgeon where he spent a Five Year tour in Beta Quadrant. In 2293 at the dawn of the new peace with the Klingon Empire, James was reassigned to Starbase 12 as a surgical attending, a rare feat for a Lieutenant. He was promoted to Lieutenant Commander in 2295 at the conclusion of his two year attending rotation and was reassigned to the newly commissioned U.S.S. Hecate as its chief medical officer to which he accepted with great honor. He hopes to make good on his promise to his father and carry on the McEntyre name in Medicine with honor and compassion. |
