what can I do about this ? will the school still consider my application ? I'm talking about EVMS in particular.

I have 5 LOR's.

Physics Prof.
Bio Prof.
Prof I did Research for, for 2 years
2 physicians I worked with

Can i just list the physicians name and hope it goes unnoticed ?
 
Most schools are willing to waive the non-science lor requirement. call them and tell them something like it's been awhile since you took a humanities/social science class. they'll understand.
 
For EVMS you will need the non-science letter. If you send a packet without it, they simply won't verify your file complete to be eligible for review until they get it.
 
often rec letters from extra activities (perhaps those physicians?) count as the non science rec letter.

Also, if you have a committee letter, they often don't care for your meeting the specific requirements.

please note all the "oftens", check with schools.
