So my boss is a "top 25 <subspecialty> surgeon in the country," Harvard grad, awards, and etc. He's the CEO/owner of a health tech startup that I work at. We're on a first name basis as I was the first software engineer he hired and I demo stuff to him pretty regularly.
How do I turn this into a LoR that's useful for med school? Should I ask to shadow him in a clinical setting or would that be really weird? I haven't done anything clinical with him as, again, I'm a software engineer at his company. He doesn't know of my med school aspirations, but he's been generally supportive of people following their career goals even if it means leaving our company, so I don't think that's an issue.
