In short, no, not really. He could be a medical interpreter, but hands on is not likely to happen.
I have translated Japanese nursing curriculum before, and the requirements for graduation are different, so your friend would need to attend Japanese nursing school to fill in the blanks, which would mean he would have to be not only fluent in Japanese, but fluent in medical Japanese, which even most Japanese natives are not.
