Tell me your stories please

I may be WAY overthinking this, but when/how is it appropriate to ask for a fellowship letter of recommendation? Specifically from my program director. The only times I see him are either when we are working clinically (veryyy rarely) or SUPER briefly during our didactics, when he is also busy and handling other admin related things. I’ve been told not to ask over email (for like med school) but I feel like that may make the most sense. He’s also kind of an old school guy and I could see him “not liking” someone asking over email. Would appreciate any advice!
