The reason that a school may suggest a reference from a science professor is to speak to your knowledge/ abilities/ determination to do research. It isn't just how good you are identifying bacteria under a microscope but how versed are you in the research process? The curiousity to seek new knowledge, determination and drive to see a project to completion are important to anyone wanting to be a physician. Some possible alternatives would be if you took any upper level experimental psychology courses or sociology courses on qualitative research.

As a nurse practitioner who has worked with many medical students, I would welcome you. Liberal Arts majors make fine physicians too!!
