I believe the answer is:

errands

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'commissions' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'that woman in bow managed to get medical degree' is the wordplay.
'that woman in bow' becomes ''er' ('her' - her refers to a woman - said with the 'H' dropped - a cockney accent.).
'managed to get' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'medical degree' becomes 'ds' (DS is an example. I am not sure about the 'medical' bit.).
'er'+'ran'+'ds'='ERRANDS'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for errands that I've seen before include "Process for finding how often a number is contained in another" , "Task-oriented trips" , "shopping trips" , "Missions" , "Short trips for messages" .)
