Asking your interviewer to have the school re-review an application that it previously rejected sounds presumptuous (as it implies that they made a mistake in rejecting your partner's application), unlikely to move the needle in your partner's favor (why would they substitute your request for their judgment?), and thus the request may potentially be harmful to your chances of admission. I could see making such a request if you had more leverage (e.g., you're a Nobel Prize Winner that a school would dearly like to add to the faculty but you've made clear that you and your spouse are a package deal). However, medical school admissions is a seller's market, and you don't have any meaningful leverage.

Yeah, unfortunately there is "couples matching" in residency applications but not in med school applications.

The best you can hope for is that you will get into schools in the same state and see each other on weekends, or if your partner doesn't get in this year to reapply when they know where you ended up.
