In just 11 weeks, this online medical Spanish course helps you…
Connect better with Spanish-speaking patients
Speaking someone’s language (albeit imperfect) generates a personal connection that you can’t replicate through telephone interpreters, video interpreters or face to face interpreters.
Improve the quality of care your Spanish-speaking patients receive
Every study shows that patient outcomes improve when they receive care in their preferred language.
Feel better about your work with Spanish-speaking patients
Wouldn’t it be a great feeling to know that you’re taking calculated steps to do all that you can within your time constraints to make a bigger difference?
Alleviate Frustrations
It’s natural to get frustrated and have some anxieties when you are providing care in another language. Interpreter phones are clunky & communication feels less personal
Build more trust
“Confianza” is the Spanish word for trust, and it’s proven to positively impact patient adherence to treatment plans and therefore patient outcomes.
Broaden your impact
At Common Ground International, we’re all about impacting communities through language. Every moment you spend working on your Spanish has a ripple effect in your community!
Registration is open and seats are limited! Simply put, this medical Spanish course is going to improve your communication and allow you to better connect with your patients.
What is the time commitment for the recorded lessons and the weekly live classes?
- You can expect to spend 2-3 hours per week working through the recorded content, memorizing vocabulary, and completing the lesson activities
- The live classes last 1hr each. Most people choose to attend consistently either the 10am session or the 7pm session (mountain time)… but you’re able to switch between sessions as your schedule demands or attend both! If you can’t attend either session, we record them for you to catch later.
Fall ’26 MMS Course schedule:
- Foundations live class is on Tuesday October 6th at 10am or 7pm Mountain time.
- Each week a new lesson opens on Tuesdays right after the evening live class.
- Each week we have live classes on Tuesdays at 10a and 7p Mountain time to practice the previous week’s lesson
- The final live class of the Fall ’26 MMS session is December 15th, 2026.

This has been fun, interactive, and educational. It is streamlined to help you learn the most useful information to connect with your patients effectiveI just finished Beg MMS Online Course and I am so excited to take the next course Intermediate MMS. The course design is a perfect blend of videos, self-paced lessons/work and the live Zoom class with the teacher and classmates. The course was only 10 weeks and I wish it would have just kept going because I felt like I was learning so much. I have started using some of the introductions and exam phrases with patients and especially the anatomy words during the physical exam. Patients are always smiling when I am using some of the Spanish names for tonsils, throat, heart, lungs etc. If you are looking to streamline your learning of Spanish for medical use in an office or clinic, this is the perfect place to start. There is so much material and yet you can focus on the specific conversations you need for your line of work. I highly recommend this course. The teachers/instructors are wonderful.
Julie Poludniak
Absolutely loved this course! It is a great way to practice Spanish in a classroom setting, but without the stress of it being a traditional class. With that in mind, it is on you to study the material each week and hold yourself accountable to get the most out of the lecture. If that is your style of learning/studying, then this is 100% the course for you!

I have appreciated the varied format of lessons, quizzes, flashcards and interactive elements. I thought it was nice there was a certain amount of structure w/ deadlines, which did help me even though I got more and more behind as the class progressed. I liked the break out sessions during the live lessons where I got a chance to work through challenges w/ others. Also, you are really good at explaining concepts (like the lesson on past tense verbs with different meanings– so useful)

FANTASTIC PROGRAM. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I would love to keep taking Alexandra’s class!!! She was so encouraging, helpful, and all around great teacher. She made the classes enjoyable and worthwhile. The study materials were excellent. This program makes it very possible to learn Spanish at your own pace based on the effort one is willing to give.
Mikell Schlumpf
Common Ground International’s online Medical Spanish course is very comprehensive and probably the best anywhere for health professionals of all levels. Rory is an amazing teacher and is very responsive to feedback as he is constantly evaluating and changing program elements to meet students’ needs. I highly recommend this course!
Gail Spiegel
I have been taking courses with Common Ground International (CGI) intermittently since 2024, and my experience has been excelente from the very beginning. The instructors are a thoughtful mix of native Spanish speakers and those who learned Spanish as a second language, which creates a balanced and relatable learning environment. As a student, this makes a big difference because you get both natural fluency and practical explanations. Combined with the structured online modules and the weekly live sessions, this has been one of the most effective learning systems I’ve experienced. The repetition, conversación, and real-world application really help reinforce the material. Overall, CGI has provided a learning experience that feels both professional and personal. I would highly recommend their program to anyone serious about improving their Spanish—especially in a medical context.
Jeanette Weiser
Rory and his team run a first class course. If you are on the fence, do it. I am an advanced Spanish speaker and felt the course was absolutely incredible! They are so generous and caring. The design is amazing. So impressive the amount of time and effort they have put into developing this program.
Gregg McCord
The course was well thought out, well run and extremely helpful. My progress in learning Spanish was significant and there was also content on understanding Hispanic/Latino culture that I found fascinating and enjoyable. As in most things, you get out of the course what you put into it. I used all the resources fully and it was very beneficial to me.
Cheryl Gilbert
LOOK NO FURTHER – THIS IS THE COURSE TO TAKE!!! The medical Spanish course helped me level up my Spanish after years of communicating pretty well with patients but feeling relatively stagnant in my language skills. It was worth every penny and every minute of the 10 week time commitment. The vocab and medical interview questions were SUPER practical, and Rory was such a delight in the videos. My live teacher Diana was also great, and I enjoyed making friends with other healthcare workers from across the country (and the globe) – it was humbling to practice in front of them but it was well worth it! Rory and Leslie seem like wonderful people, I’m so glad my money went to a small family business like theirs. 10000% recommend.
Kate Gieschen
Mastering Medical Spanish really helped me take the next steps in connecting with my patients in their native language. It’s helped me feel more comfortable with understanding their needs and communicating with them as effectively as I can. Thank you!
Blaine Olsen
Connecting with my patients has been my goal since enrolling in MMS. This semester, I have been able to have actual conversations with patients and it’s because of MMS. Whatever your learning style, the CGI team has a method to help!
Shanna Moss
I found the MMS course just by searching online, and reading the reviews really solidified my decision to sign up. I have now taken the Beginner MMS twice and my vocabulary, speaking knowledge, and listening comprehension are all improved. I was a beginner at the very start of my journey and now would consider myself an intermediate learner. Rory and Leslie are SO encouraging, and I felt nothing but welcome during the entire course. The live sessions are interactive and fun and having a conversation partner is KEY! I did not pursue a partner the first time I took the course, so the second time around I made a promise to myself to find a partner. It helped me tremendously! If you are looking for an interactive and encouraging environment to learn medical Spanish, this is it.
Kelsey Gober
Mastering Medical Spanish has helped me be a more effective doctor and to have a direct and warm relationship with my Spanish speaking patients.
Mark Morris
I began this class with very little Spanish knowledge. I feel that after ten weeks I have a solid foundation and actionable plan to further my understanding and use of such a beautiful language. The beginner MMS course is so well curated. I left each week feeling more prepared to communicate with my patients. Thank you all so much.
Linsey Wegener
I just completed the Beginner MMS course. I cannot say enough good about it. You will be given an enormous amount of information to help you with both medical Spanish and everyday communication in Spanish. The information is well organized. I feel that the cost of the course is well worth it plus you get CME. Rory’s videos are well organized and to the point. Alexandra was my online teacher and she is not only sweet and personable, she is a great teacher who meets you where you are and is very encouraging. Will you finish the course and be able to speak fluent Spanish, probably not, but your knowledge and understanding of Spanish will be greatly enhanced. Don’t hesitate, just sign up!
Dawn Holland
This course is truly top notch and should be taken by every medical professional that has Spanish speaking patients. From live sessions, to weekly meetings with a partner, to the prerecorded courses, all the bases are covered as you speak, listen, read and write in Spanish throughout each lesson. Without a doubt my speaking and comprehension has improved significantly over the last few months. Thanks to CGI for such a fantastic course – this is exactly what I needed!

What company are the nursing credits through?
Hi Stephanie, the Nursing credits are offered through the California State Board of Registered Nursing.
will you be starting up a new schedule over the summer or fall? This page says “expired”
Hi Seth! Yes we always offer our Mastering Medical Spanish courses twice a year (next one is in the fall) could you kindly let me know which page are you having trouble with? Otherwise you can reach out directly to us by email ([email protected]
) so we can help with any questions you might have 🙂
Hello. Im probably in intermediate spanish. Is it possible to start now in the classes even though it started march 15?
Thanks
Wendy
Hi Wendy! Sorry for the late reply, you can start the course on your own anytime and then join the live lessons that start again in the fall. Please feel free to email us ([email protected]) so we can answer any further questions you might have 🙂
Hi – is this course accredited for CE for occupational therapists?
Hi Lindsay, MMS is accredited for CE through the California State Board of Nursing and for CME through the American Academy of Family Physicians. Please check to see if you can claim those credits as an OT.
Hi–I live in the eastern time zone and work from 530am-2 pm. The practice times will not work for me, but this seems very important. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Hey Kathy, That’s definitely a tough schedule. There are a handful of people who can’t make the practice times. And what they’re doing is watching the replays of the live practice and meeting with their conversational partners a couple of times a week to get the same practice. Let me know if you think that works for you and we can work something out. Sorry for seeing your comment so late.
