Morphology
The meaning 'the branch of science concerned with medicine' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'medical' (relating to medicine) with 'science' (a field of study). This noun-noun composition follows a regular, productive pattern in English and is cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Medical science comes from putting medical (care and treatment for sick people) together with science (careful study and testing). Imagine doctors watching patients and trying treatments, then turning those results into shared knowledge. So, medical science means the organized study and knowledge used 'to keep people healthy and treat disease'.
