Morphology
The phrase 'medical community' is directly built from 'medical' (relating to medicine) + 'community' (a group of people with shared interests), so its meaning — the group of healthcare professionals — is transparently derivable from the constituents. This straightforward noun–noun composition is cross-linguistically common and follows regular English modification patterns, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Medical community comes from joining the word medical, meaning about health and doctors, and community, meaning a group of people who work or live together. Picture doctors, nurses, and other health workers meeting and standing together to give advice or help patients, so medical community means 'the group of people who work in healthcare'.
