Christine Chapel is a doctor in sickbay, but will use her skills previously gained as a nurse where necessary, and has herself listed in both capacities.

While training to be a scientist, Chapel was a student in Dr. Roger Korby's class. They fell in love and became engaged. During this time, she became well acquainted with Dr. Brown, Dr. Korby's assistant, whom she affectionately called "Brownie". (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")

Following her fiancé's disappearance on the planet Exo III around 2261, she abandoned a career in bio-research for a position in Starfleet in the hopes that a deep space assignment would one day reunite her with Korby. (TOS: "What Are Little Girls Made Of?")

Upon joining Starfleet, her serial number was NI-596 MT21Z. (TAS: "Mudd's Passion")

Chapel earned her MD after completing a medical program.

In 2273, Chapel was assigned to the refitted Enterprise. Upon the return of Dr. McCoy during the V'ger crisis, he explained to Kirk that he was "going to need a top nurse, not a doctor who will argue every little diagnosis with me." Chapel later provided care to Pavel Chekov, whose hands were burnt from a malfunctioning bridge console. She later performed medical scans on the Ilia probe, and assisted in reacquainting the probe with Ilia's former life. She also provided medical care to Spock after his traumatizing mind meld with V'ger. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

At some point prior to stardate 5577.5, Chapel acquired a titanium bracelet made by the titanium smiths of Libra, which she occasionally wore while on duty. (TAS: "The Terratin Incident")

Simon and Schuster's officially licensed Star Trek: Starship Creator interactive software, written by production staffer Michael Okuda, listed some supplemental biographical details on Chapel. It mentioned she was the child of Lauren Chapel and Patterson Chapel of New Orleans, Louisiana, Earth, and had an interest in ballet. Other information included a birth date in 2237, Starfleet Medical Academy Nursing Degree in 2266, and doctorate by the 2270s. She graduated in the 98th percentile of her class, with degrees in bioresearch, medical archaeology, and endocrinology. It assigned her original rank as a "brevet," or provisional, ensign, and stated that she rose to become the director of Starfleet Emergency Operations by the time of her Star Trek IV appearance.
