So, before we start I'll get you to read some material, to form the base this stage of training... taken word-for-word form the medical handbook xD
Iryo Fuuinjutsu (Medical Sealing Ninja Techniques)
As Medical Ninjas, you have various fields in which you can further specialize in, applying the various skills you learned in basic medical training to develop and learn more specific and unique skills. From those, there is one bound to those that have already learned regular sealing techniques. Medical Sealing Ninja Techniques or Iryo Fuuinjutsu. In other words, this is an advanced class in which you'll learn how to improve your usage of sealing techniques via the knowledge of medical arts and how to use sealing arts to improve medical treatment success.
Its recommended that you read the

as most of this class will be set upon the basic stuff thats described there.
So, what exactly changes in regards to how seals work for medical ninjas?
Lets begin by each component of a seal and detail what you can now use seals to do:*
*This refers to the possibilities the skill and knowledge might allow you and not to abilities that are now applicable to all seals. Each seal will abide by what is described in it so a seal that requires a paper tag will still require it, regardless of being used by a medical ninja or a regular ninja. In truth, this knowledge is more important for custom seal crafting than anything.
- The Object/Target of the Seal - This is what you'll seal. As a medical ninja you can now seal the abilities of another ninja, as well as the chakra flow, any and every biological aspect of his fisiology, injuries, organs, body parts and even other more abstract things like fatigue or memories. The possibilities become much broader now that you have mastered how Ninjutsu can be used to affect the ninja body.
- The Medium/Vessel - This is the "thing" in which you'll seal your target. As a medical ninja, what trully changes is that you have enough knowledge of the chakra flow and ninja body to use it as a medium for seals. This means you can place seals in your own body or that of others, not requiring a pre-made medium like a paper tag for example. The seal can then be done "in loco" and doesn't need to be pre-prepared before.
- The Trigger - This is what will activate the sealing technique. The main change here is that you can set a seal to trigger on broader aspects, including biological ones of your target. For example, you can make a seal that will seal off adrenaline production in a ninja in case his supra-renal glands produce more than X amount. Or you can make a seal that will render the target unconscious, sealing his consciousness for X amount of time if he experiences pain above Y level. Also, you become able to place seal on contact without handseals.
- The Binding - Medical ninja or not, this doesn't really change much. The only rule is that you'll always need a kanji formula that can be made with or without handseals or written in a medium or not.
- Chakra - No difference here. As a medical ninja you still need to apply chakra to your seals for them to work. The main thing to take is that you can make auto-suficient seals like the Jinchuriki binding seals. Basically, seals that rely not only on your chakra but that of external sources or even, if place in a living medium, chakra of said medium to be sustained.
- The Key - Only thing here is that you can, like with the trigger, create and setup more elaborate keys for your seals.
In summary, as a medical ninja, you become more adept at using a basic skill in more specialized ways linked to your knowledge of the ninja body, chakra (and its energies), etc while taking advantage of your increased chakra control and precision. Think of it as Water Release and Rain. Water Release is the basic skill of using chakra to manipulate and create water for techniques. Rain is simply an advanced usage of that basic skill that enables control over even atmospheric water, allowing control over Rain and other similar phenomenons. Additionally, Medical Ninjas become able to release, disrupt and cancel stronger seals as they have more knowledge and control over sealing techniques in general. The seals they produce can also have longer ranges, require less handseals and be of higher strength.
Ok, so we can seal more stuff in more complex ways. What about empowerment seals?
Empowerment seals are seals made to empower you and your abilities. They can be done in various ways. Its a special usage of seals where there are many things you can do but you always need to adhere to the rule that a seal serves the purpose of sealing and unsealing something and if it is to empower you, that needs to be how it works. For example, Tsunade and Sakura have a seal that empowers them by sealing chakra through long periods of time, releasing it only when they need more power and empowering them as a result.
This seems more and more like a field for combat and custom making...
In a way, it is. However, its also through this field you gain access to the various medical sealing techniques you can find
