In what capacity do you work with the pathologist?

The main question here is a now vs. 3 years from now before I apply.

I would ask him 3 year from now when you apply because by that time I'm sure he'll have even more positive things to say about you and your relationship with him will be much longer. No need to rush in asking for the letter now unless you need it for something else unrelated to medical school admissions!

Most likely the LOR will be dated, so using a 3 year old LOR isn't a good idea. Continue to work with the pathologist and lab director and then you can ask them when you start to apply.
