AMS Cadet Corps
Founded in 2011, the Auxiliary Medical Service (AMS) Cadet Corps is a youth group under the AMS of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The AMS Cadet Corps is committed to equipping its cadets who are aged 12 to 18 years old with professional knowledge and skills of healthcare, hygiene and health, cultivating their self-discipline and sense of responsibility through discipline training, instilling correct values among the members and nurturing them into good citizens.

In addition to the education on healthcare and public hygiene, the AMS Cadet Corps also provides various trainings for its members, including national security education, Chinese-style foot drill, discipline, and group activities. The "Health Awareness and Promotion Programme for Youth (HAPPY)" launched in 2021 also provides cadets with relevant information regarding the healthcare industry and career-oriented training so as to enable members to acquire a deeper understanding of the medical profession, set up learning goals in advance and facilitate their future planning. Since 2023, the AMS has also signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) with different tertiary institutions to officially launch a series of academic and service collaborations, with a view to becoming a "little cradle" for nurturing medical staff.
