It doesn't seem like you can edit the letter entries in the amcas account once you create one.

For my research letter, I have the contact title as "professor" instead of "principle investigator" will medical schools see this and think that I don't have any letters from research and automatically think that I didn't send a letter to fullfill the research letter requirements for some schools? Or will adcoms read the content of the letters and not use the amcas contact titles as a way of identifying where the letter is coming from.

If it does matter, I will try calling in to have them change the title of my research from "professor" to "principle investigator." If they won't change it for me, I guess I have to create a new entry with the correct title and then resend the letter (and therefore wait longer) ...

The bolded. Don't worry about it.
 
Really?
Most schools have you restate this info on secondaries, so you can do it correctly there.
But I'd say overall, matters *this* much. None of my professors are PhDs according to my letter inputs, even though that's not true at all.
