Saying it\'s a medic, medical student. You probably will have to go around the houses to describe it.

Ms. Nina ... worked as a junior assistant in our clinic during her medical studies.
If the precise status is important, you'll have to paraphrase it ("after completing her first State examination", "as a xth-year medical student"). If not you can wing it as above.
I don't think English speakers will understand cand. med. This title business is a bit alien to the Anglo world, imo.

First State Examination would be the correct capitalisation, but has the problem that it would merely be replacing one alien concept by another and would also need to be explained. xth-year student is probably clearer.
