Two questions (particularly anybody with med school adcom experience, if any of you participate in this thread):

1. Anybody have an opinion on submitting an LOR from a non-physician / professor (i.e. a PA)?
2. Considering LOR from two MDs, both of whom I've worked with extensively, one slightly more so in the clinical setting, the other slightly more in the administrative setting. The latter directs the program to which I belong, is the operations officer of our healthcare system, and is my secondary supervisor, however, I have not worked quite as much with him as I have with the former physician. Any opinions on these two options?

Thanks.

If you're applying to DO schools too, you'll need one physician letter (DO preferred but MD works at many schools).
