This word is made up of 'die Medizin' (medicine) and 'das Studium' (studies/degree program). The 's' is a linking element that connects the two nouns.
Das Medizinstudium ist bekannt dafür, sehr anspruchsvoll zu sein.

The pattern '[subject] + Studium' is very productive in German. For example, there is also 'das Jurastudium' (law studies), 'das Ingenieurstudium' (engineering studies), or 'das Kunststudium' (art studies).

medicine
'die Medizin' and 'das Medizinstudium' are closely related, but they are not the same thing. 'Die Medizin' is the field that deals with diseases, injuries, and treatment. 'Das Medizinstudium' is the university training you do if you want to become a doctor. The words can be confusing because in everyday German people say: 'Ich studiere Medizin' (I am studying medicine). But that refers to the subject being studied, not the word 'Medizinstudium' itself. When talking about the science or the subject, 'Medizin' fits. When talking about the training, 'Medizinstudium' fits.
