I am not sure why you would want to become a physician in all fifty states.
If your question is really "How do I become qualified to become licensed in all fifty states?" then the answer is easy. You must graduate from an accredited medical school, allopathic or osteopathic. Then complete three years of residency (in most states). Along the way you must pass USMLE (United States Medical Licensing Exam or the osteopathic equivalent) Part 1 and 2 prior to graduation then Part 3 after your first year of residency. Continuing education will keep you eligible to move to another state if you wish. You do not need to license in all states "Just in case".
There are physicians that work locums tenans that are licensed in multiple states. It is a very expensive proposition. My California medical license costs me about $890 per two year renewal cycle plus continuing education. All states have various continuing education requirements, some specific to that state. Licensing in all states, and practicing in all state during a particular year is not feasible.
