My state bar publishes a weekly newsletter with classifieds in the back for jobs, offices and expert witness services. You may not yet have the experience to be an expert witness, but many attorneys need medical experts to examine records. The ABA Journal has the same type of classifieds. The point is, find a media outlet that targets attorneys. If you actually want to become an attorney, study for the LSAT and go to law school. Lawyers with medical experience are in high demand. I use medical professionals pretty frequently and I don't even practice personal injury law. This kind of knowledge is also needed for personnel/labor law, disability law, mental health, criminal law and general tort law.

If you are a nurse, try medical malpractice attorneys--the anathema to the medical world.
But these days, malpractice attorneys need expert opinions before they even file the lawsuit, and face disbarment if they don't get them. Attorneys need medical professionals to read the charts and give them kind of a "sniff test" on cases. If the nurse thinks there is something hinky about the case, then the attorney will get the expert's opinion with which to file the lawsuit.

Go to school. Become a paralegal or a lawyer.

shenanigans!
You have experience in the medical field, but you don't know how to change career paths?
