If my AP courses are accepted by the medical school that I apply , I just ask the College Board to send my AP tests results directly to that school ?
Thank you.

If it's on your transcript, I don't see why they'd need to send the official reports.
You mean the transcript of my college? Since Spanish is not required by my college, it does not show up on the transcript as one of the elective courses. And now I need it because one of the med schools recommends that class.
Yes, college transcript. I'd make sure the particular school accepts AP credit, there are quite a few that don't.

If your college awarded you semester hours of credit for your AP classes, it will be on your transcript. This is not an automatic thing- you, the student, need to send your official AP scores to your college registrar and ask for this to be done.
Medical schools don’t want that AP score of 3,4,5 etc. from College Board.

This^^. If you didn't receive college credit for it, it won't be accepted now by any medical school. Some schools won't take it even if you did receive college credit, but no medical school is going to give you credit for anything that does not appear on a college transcript. Med schools do not take College Board AP Score Reports. Period.

I don't understand why you didn't want the AP credit for college credit in the first place. Did you score above a 3 (if that's still the scoring range)? If you didn't earn a score high enough to get the credit, then this is a moot argument. If you did score high enough... you can probably find a way to correct it, but do it soon so it gets on your transcript by the time you submit your application. Work with your registrar on it, and you'll have to pay College Board if the registrar needs the score report.
Also, you are fretting over something that is a "recommended" non-science course. If you didn't really build on your Spanish from high school with additional coursework in college, let it go. You probably have a solid foundation to take some medical Spanish classes once you get into a school.
