Hello.
I just started shadowing 4 vets at a veterinary hospital and will be shadowing this week and then another week at the end of the month. A letter of recommendation from a vet is recommended or required for most vet schools. Can I ask one of the vets I am shadowing to write me a letter of recommendation after having only known them for a week? Would you recommend waiting to ask for the letter after my second week of shadowing? Should I ask for it in person or send an email?
Also, can I ask my large animal vet (who I've known for years) to write me a letter of recommendation even though I have never shadowed her and I only see her about once a year when she comes to treat my horses?
How would you ask/word your request for a letter of recommendation?
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for shadowing? I worry about being in the way so I'm not very involved in most activities and I'm afraid to ask questions.
