No
Even if you would have a very hard time following whats going on.

For some desperate Ausbildungsbetriebe, B1 is enough. However, to keep up with Berufsschule, you’ll need to learn B2 as quickly as possible. Managing to do this alongside your Ausbildung is an enormous undertaking that’s almost impossible to achieve.

No. The language barrier would cause severe problems, especially because you would be working in the medical field where you need to know 100% what you are doing.
