Technically they don't HAVE to, and I suspect many don't: chemistry and Biology are more closely related to medicine than physics is, and that's all you need at most colleges to get past the general studies requirement for a bachelor's degree, which is part of the pass to get into medical school. You COULD take astronomy and geology instead, I suppose, but that would be kind of weird.

Some kinds of doctors, such as those specializing in, say, sports medicine, might take physics because it helps them understand the stresses on the body. But physics is not usually an actual requirement for a medical degree.
