Crystal Ralls is a fourth-year medical student at Lincoln Memorial University–DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine with a growing interest in neurology and the intersection of faith and clinical medicine. Her experiences in global health, psychiatry, and neurology have shaped her reflection on suffering, chronic illness, and the spiritual formation that often occurs in seasons without easy resolution. Crystal writes the devotional series Healing Word, where she explores illness, endurance, and the presence of God with theological depth and clinical honesty. She is passionate about helping future physicians hold both scientific rigor and spiritual compassion without oversimplifying pain. Crystal hopes to practice medicine in a way that honors both the complexity of the human body and the dignity of the human soul.
