In the sense, medicine is applied physics, just as everything else.
Thing is, you always break down a problem into just enough details to solve the problem. Not more. No physicist studying, say, airflow over the Atlantic will take quantum effects or relativistic effects into account. Magnetic fields are also ignored. Even clouds are surprisingly “low res” in most simulations.

Mathematics is the only true science.
Physics is applied mathematics.
Chemistry is applied physics.
Biology is applied chemistry.
Psychology is applied biology.
Sociology is applied psychology.
Et al.
I mean yeah. Insert the relevant XKCD here.
But in a more direct sense, medicine is applied chemistry. (With chemistry itself being applied physics.)
