Fraser did just as he said, entering Star Fleet Academy just as his divorce was being finalized. He was distressed, of course, he certainly hadn't walked away from his husband emotionally unscathed, but he was determined to make this work. This was, after all, what he'd always wanted and it was finally within his grasp. Since he was already a qualified doctor, he used his time at the Academy to take advanced training in his favored area of medicine, dermatology, while also grabbing the opportunity to add more strings to his bow by taking classes in the Science department. Though his first few months were marred by a struggle to adjust, he soon came into his own, eventually graduating with friends and strong grades. The newly ranked Midshipman Dunbar's first assignment was on Starbase 63. He spent a year at this assignment, loving it every bit as much as he'd always thought he would. The year was a largely uneventful one however, and the place he really longed to be was on a starship. So, after being promoted to Ensign, he applied for a transfer to a starship and was eventually reassigned to the USS Philadelphia.

Upon arrival at the Philadelphia, Fraser discovered that the Command staff had yet to board the ship and his Chief Medical Officer, Lieutenant Tara sh'Thane, would be standing in as Acting First Officer. This meant that Fraser was the highest ranked remaining officer in the Medical department during its early days, and as such he worked hard to ensure that Sickbay ran smoothly in sh'Thane's absence. By the time the ship had joined its flotilla and the CMO was able to return to Sickbay full-time, the department was running efficiently, much to Fraser's relief.
