shadowing doesnt make you an employee.... so an LOR from the dentist wouldnt count as an employer LOR.

What school requires a LOR specifically from an employer? Most of the dental schools I looked at when I applied needed either 2 science and a dentist; 1 science, 1 non-science and a dentist; 3 science and a dentist; or two science, a dentist, and 1 other of your choice...but I can't remember a single one asking specifically for an employer.

It's sad, but there are people who apply to dental school who haven't worked a day in their lives.

Employment means you're being paid. Shadowing implies your're observing. Unless someone is foolish enough to pay you to watch them work, I would definitely say NO; that'd be a lie.

I can remember one school requiring a letter from an employer. I think it was Loma Linda. I couldn't get one so they told me to get a letter from someone that knows me personally. Just tell that school, whoever they are, that you can't get a letter from an employer and what they would accept in place of it.
