Professor Rebekka Matheson, who teaches neuroscience and is helping build curriculum for the new School of Medicine, encouraged students in a BYU devotional to rethink the refiner’s fire and develop Christlike charity by being present in others’ suffering. She also envisioned early Relief Society Saints passing their torch to today’s BYU School of Medicine: “We are preparing for the time when we can open our doors, seeking their spiritual granddaughters and grandsons. . . . We hope they will enter to learn and go forth in scrubs, white coats, or fleece jackets to fight the fires of mortality all over the world.” Read a recap, watch highlights, or view her full devotional address.
