Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'medical' (relating to medicine) modifying 'profession' (a body of people practising an occupation), so it denotes the group of people who practise medicine. This adjective+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistic pattern and would be readily understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
The term medical profession joins medical (about treating the sick) and profession (a job that needs special training and rules). Long ago, people who treated the sick trained and followed rules and formed a clear group, so medical profession now means the trained group who 'practice medicine'.
