Do any MD schools REQUIRE a LOR from a doctor?

I know D.O. schools do...do M.D.'s?

Everything I've seen has just been two science, one nonscience. Unless you have volunteered, shadowed, or done extensive research with a doctor, I'd just stick with the other letters. An employer would be a good letter writer, especially since he or she sees you in a different situation than medical experience and school.

University of Utah does. That's the only one I know of. None of the schools I applied to specifically required a letter from a doc.

If I recall correctly USUHS requires a letter from someone who observed you in a clinical setting. Could technically be a nurse or a PA or something but to me that requirement screamed "letter from a doctor".
