Growing up in a very large family of overachievers and deeply religious people, Canice harbors the deeply held | |||
belief that he does not match up. He has spent much of his life attempting | |||
to please his Father and older brothers and desperately wanting them to | |||
respect him and treat him as a peer. He even followed in their footsteps | |||
and planned to become a dentist surgeon before changing his specialty to neurosurgery | |||
medicine in his second year at Exeter. | |||
It wasn’t until medical school that he was able identify his own strengths | |||
and has slowly grown in confidence. He is very hard-working; eager to | |||
please and easily hurt when he feels embarrassed. In social situations, he | |||
tends to hold back and doesn’t like to be the center of attention, | |||
preferring interactions with smaller groups. During his time on board the [[Deep Space 224]] Canice developed confidence in his ability as a doctor and was eventually able to assert himself. A naturally caring person, he grew very close to his small medical staff in his department. | |||
When it comes to the non-medical aspects of Starfleet life, he can feel out of his depth and prefers the safety of of his Medical Lab or in Sickbay to the uncertainty of away missions. | |||

He was able to use that surgery as a test-bed case and to perfect it further on the Holodeck, he sent all his logs, test cases, and holo uploads to Star Fleet Medical for there review of it. He spent more and time on his research, but started getting tired of being in just one place on a remote station, when the [[USS Resolution]] was sent into the [[The Borderlands]] Canice jump at the opportunity to transfer to her. He spends most of his time in a Bio-Medical Lab working, but will help out if needed on away missions or in Sick Bay as needed. | He was able to use that surgery as a test-bed case and to perfect it further on the Holodeck, he sent all his logs, test cases, and holo uploads to Star Fleet Medical for there review of it.

'''Starfleet Academy''': [[Image:CanineMed.png|thumb|Dr. Canice McMullen, M.D. graduating from [http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Starfleet_Medical Starfleet Medical]]] | |||
Canice was accepted to Starfleet Academy on his first | |||
attempt and began study with a major in exobiology and a minor in | |||
astrophysics. He greatly enjoyed his time as an undergraduate, making a | |||
close group of friends and finally feeling free of the expectations of his | |||
family. A good, rather than exceptional student, he graduated in the top | |||
ten percent of his class and was accepted to the Starfleet Medical | |||
post-graduate program. | |||
'''Starfleet Medical''': | |||
The transition from undergraduate to postgraduate study | |||
was not an easy one for Canice and in the first year he struggled to | |||
maintain his grades. As all of his friends had accepted commissions and | |||
were on their first postings, the support network he had built up over the | |||
previous four years was gone. | |||
Although not on his official record, for a time he was using stimulants in | |||
order to stay focused and study. He became depressed and was close to | |||
washing out of the program. His dramatic change in attitude was spotted | |||
by one of his professors who, in an attempt to help him decide whether he | |||
wanted to be a doctor or not, arranged for him to volunteer in the field | |||
during a planet wide outbreak on the Napean colony Vilar 2. | |||
He spent three months working with Starfleet Medical colleagues and Napean | |||
doctors during the outbreak. This was a truly life changing experience for | |||
the young medical student. He discovered that he truly loved medicine but was more | |||
suited to surgery than trauma medicine. With a new | |||
sense of purpose, he completed medical school. | |||
