The theory of multiple intelligence explains that there are different types of intelligences: mathematical, logical, intrapersonal, kinesthetic and others. Can these skills be studied in people in such specific careers as medicine, nursing and rescue personnel ?.
Hello,
This makes sense throughout career pathways in general, so when you think about it, the different aspects of these health sector roles require people with different types of intelligence (and those with suitable attributes are more likely to enter and remain in professions suited to their type of intelligence?):

This identifies nurses as requiring interpersonal skills while pharmacists and physicians are identified as using logical-mathematical intelligence modalities.
I found this about nurse leadership that was quite interesting:
Parvari, A. W., Strider, S. H., Burchell, J. M., & Ready, J. (2017). Selection and Promotion of Nursing Leaders Based on Multiple Intelligences. Human Resource Management Research, 7(1), 1-16.

In comparing their results, they cited (among others) this paper:
Wilson, S. D., & Mujtaba, B. G. (2007). The relationship between multiple intelligences, culture and diversity. International Business and Economics Research Journal, 6(8), 9.

Very best wishes,

Yes, multiple intelligence theory can be applied to health care professionals as well as other professionals. I am of this opinion because there are certain aptitudes which may be a natural occurrence in some professions which support expertise in a specific area.
Yes they can. Medicine is broad. Researcher need to identify area where they can be applicable.
