Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from 'medical' (relating to medicine) + 'practice' (the professional work or business of a practitioner), so a learner who knows both words can infer 'the professional work or clinic of a doctor(s)'. This noun phrase follows a common modifier + head-noun composition found across languages, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Medical practice comes from the idea of a doctor 'practicing' medicine. When a doctor does this work regularly in one place, the words medical (about medicine) and practice (the work done) together mean both the doctor's work and the clinic where they treat patients.
