Morphology
The phrase's meaning — a medical specialty dealing with emergencies — is directly and compositionally built from 'emergency' (sudden incident requiring immediate action) + 'medicine' (medical field), so a learner who knows both words can infer the sense. This noun-compounding pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically familiar (e.g., equivalents meaning 'medical care for emergencies'), making it immediately comprehensible at B1.
Etymology
Emergency medicine comes from the clear image of doctors and nurses with ready medicine standing by for sudden emergencies, like accidents or heart attacks. So, it means the medical care you get right away in an urgent situation, 'immediate care'.
