Possibly.

It depends on HOW the school in question records the AP credit on the transcript. If the AP credit is recorded as equivalent to an actual course at the school (Ex. AP Calc AB, score 5 = MTH 151 4 credits), then it’s possible that med schools will accept the AP credit in lieu of a Calc I course.

Possible, but not a guarantee, as policies vary from med school to med school.

But if the the school records the AP credit differently (ex. AP Calc AB score 4 = 3 general math credits) or ONLY gives advanced standing without credit, then no, med schools won’t accept the AP score in lieu of an actual class.
