So the other option is to do research under an MD or MD/PhD?

What was the prompt for the MD letter?
Some schools (AZ, RF UT) ask for a clinical letter for which a physician letter is acceptable.

Yes, but the reason for the prompt really is so that you can find out what a doctor's day is like, and offer proof of same.

Yeah it's not on their website, but the assistant dean of admissions and recruitment (Dr. Tissot) recommended one when she came to my campus to talk about the UCinn COM.
