Morphology
The meaning 'a school for medicine/doctors' is directly derivable from combining 'medical' (relating to medicine) with 'school' (an educational institution). This adjective+noun composition is a common, cross-linguistic pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Medical school is a simple compound: medical means 'about medicine' and school is a place for learning, so it paints the image of a school for medicine. That's why it means a place where people learn and train to 'become doctors'.
