Hi

I have a LOR from a science professor who taught me for a class, but he is no longer a faculty at my university. Would this LOR still be deemed "okay" in terms of applying to med school?

Or do I have to get another one?

thanks
 
As long as he left under good circumstances (ie left by his own will, rather than being forced to resign or anything), then I think it should be totally fine.
