LoR requirements vary among med schools. Typically med schools will require either a committee letter from the college you attended, or individual LoRs from your profs. If a med school requires/accepts LoRs from your profs, the most common requirement is 3 LoRs, with 2 being from your science profs, and one from a non science prof you had. Some med school accept LoRs from others such as the physician you are shadowing, but med schools also tend to want something more current, not something 3-4 years old. As such it’s probably of little to marginal value.
