There is no such rule. It is upto you when to take medical. Medical test results are valid for one year.
Considering you take the medical first before the travel, you will be looking at less time to get your 485 approved otherwise you will be asked to do medical again. So practically it is good to do it at the time of filing 485 (that is when you come back).
