Some schools require a year of calculus specifically, others are okay with a year of "math". No school is going to "retro-credit" or waive this kind of requirement -- you generally will need to satisfy their requirements. If your target schools are okay with it, I would suggest that statistics will be far more useful to your medical career than the next semester of calculus. But check with them.

Take another math class
 
Yeah, take statistics. However, make sure than none of your schools require a full year of calc.
 
when in doubt, take the course...
