Thanks for the input..honestly I only shadowed the physician for one day. I spent the last five months trying to find a DO to shadow and finally got a physician who would allow me to shadow him for one day. I am only using the DO LOR to fulfill LECOM's requirement. He asked me to tell him what to write so I guess I'll make sure he includes my knowledge of osteopathy and the assessment of my character.
