My job is to show up every day and figure out how to do things nobody has ever done before, and do it quickly. I hate having to wear belt pouches so I like to keep as much in my pockets or combined with other things as possible. The trauma shears are probably the odd one out here, and honestly I only wear them when I'm on set, but man are they so useful. Having a pair of shears that can cut through steel but fold up small enough to slip into a pocket is so awesome!
In ED/trauma a lot of use Leatherman Raptors, and they have their own case which is fantastic.

By the time people finish medic school they usually already have a nice stethoscope, but if she doesn't that's probably the best thing. I use the 3M Littmann 2141 Master Classic II and love it. Pretty much any Littmann brand is going to be what we all end up using.
If she already has one then you could always go with something she will use on duty like a pocket knife or multi tool. Most medics don't carry around much, if any, personal gear but a stethoscope and knife / multi-tool are ubiquitous. If you go for a multi-tool any Leatherman or SOG will be amazing. For pocket knives I like Gerber, Spyder, and SOG. Everything those companies make are solid and you can pick your price range.
If you are looking for something a little more expensive, a good flashlight is necessary. Surefire is the best, but really pricey. Streamlight is up there too and much more reasonably priced.
EDIT: The poster below me reminded me of what the best option probably is a pair of Leatherman Raptors. I have these and use them every day, I totally should have listed them first.
Used to live in the south, all my guns were given to family when I moved, sorry!
Not sure why, but I posted this initially, however it sounds like people weren't able to see it
If he doesn't have a fairly good stethoscope of his own, that would be a good gift. I have the Littmann Lightweight II that I use. Its a bit lighter than some of the other stethoscopes I've seen and used, but still great quality, and it isn't expensive compared to the market.
A pair of trauma sheers might be useful for him as well, ranging from the cheap to the more expensive with more gadgets, there's definitely a range to choose from. I personally don't have any shears, but everyone I've talked to that has the leatherman absolutely loves it.
A EMS pocket notebook like this or this would be useful for him to keep track of patient encounters for his paramedic clinicals.
The Leatherman Raptor might be what you're looking for, although I'll note that they're trauma shears rather than generic scissors, and are designed for EMTs to use while cutting clothes off CPR or other medical procedures (not an expert there). As such, they are the best things ever when it comes to cutting clothes, but may disappoint when it comes to paper, leaving a fine zig-zag sort of pattern and only cutting 2 inches at a time.
I'm sure it's not what you're looking for, but as a cop, I really want a set of these.
Paramedic here, rather than buy plastic trauma shears which may have otherwise limited utility if you really want to splurge you should invest in one of these. These will basically cut anything and have much more general usefulness. I had a guy with a broken ankle, and used mine to cut his leather steel toed boot off, in addition to cutting through multiple layers of Carharts.
Not sure how sold you are on standalone scissors, but I've seen these show up on this sub mainly from EMTs and the like. I've been strongly considering them for my bag. They are a bit pricey, but seem well-made. Again, I don't own them myself (yet).
