So I just got accepted into a medical school, and they said that I am missing 2 credits of inorganic chemistry, and it must be in person. The problem is, that I already graduated from my undergraduate institution 3 years ago, and I do not live in that area anymore. How can I satisfy these requirements?

could you do a summer course at a local community college?
You can take that course anywhere, just double check with your school if they will accept the certain class you're about to take
They require I have the requirement done by 7/1, I doubt there are any courses that quickly in the summer, and it’s too late to sign up for spring semester classes
Contact your school, and inform them of the bind you're in, and see what they have to say.
Worst case, you may have to take a deferred acceptance.
a lot of community colleges offer 8-16 week courses. its worth looking into
A combination of General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Organic Chemistry is usually enough to satisfy the Chemistry requirements for medical schools. I would contact the medical school to see if any alternate courses will allow you to satisfy their requirements outside of the traditional Inorganic Chemistry.
Am I the only one confused here? How did you get to take orgo 1, biochem and/or orgo 2 which are standard for most schools if you didn’t pass a years worth of inorganic chem first?
Agrees. Why 2 credits? Lectures are typically 3, labs 1 or 2.
