I would think for the PreProfessional Scholar program in Medicine ( PPSP aka BS/MD) he would be competing against other students that have probably taken Calculus. Always go for it but it depends on what is available at his HS.

As an alumni ambassador, I asked admissions folks about PPSP Students and this is what they said the typical PPSPer was like:

Very high academic achievement. Taking most demanding courses available and has mostly As. Testing in our top quartile, so basically, in the mid to high 700s on each section of the SAT or at least a 32/33 on ACT.

Excellent involvement in extracurriculars, well rounded, and significant
leadership roles.

Significant exploration of the field of medicine, such as volunteering,
shadowing, research, or some combination of those.

All he can do is the best that he can…there are many ways to get to Med School a BS/MD being only one.
