Medical Spanish Classes
The best resources to Learn Medical Spanish for the healthcare is Common Ground International! Since 2001 we’ve been providing Spanish training and language services that help Spanish-only patients connect with their healthcare providers. Patients understand their conditions and treatment options, and receive better quality care because the medical team they’re working with can speak their language.
Spanish for teachers
We are a community of teachers dedicated to giving you Spanish language tools you need to communicate with your Spanish speaking students (LEP, ELL) and their families. Our objective is to help you improve student outcomes, achieve stronger educational partnerships, break down language barriers and set students up for success!
Spanish grammar workshops
Finally bust through that grammar plateau that’s been holding you back. Master the trickiest Spanish grammar concepts in these hybrid workshops. We take the 5 hardest topics to learn and teach them in workshop style. You alternate between watching a lesson, completing exercises, and coming to a live practice session on Zoom to apply the grammar, ask your questions and advance your Spoken Spanish.

What class would be recommended for a mental health professional that can speak, hear, and read some spanish but struggles with the different tenses and is unfamiliar with the specific words and formality most needed in a mental health profession? Are there scholarships available, or sales/price reductions?
Thank you in advance,
Jenn
Hola Jenn, thanks for the note! Probably the best approach would be two-pronged:
1. Take a look at this mental health series that we published a while ago on our blog. Here is a listening comprehension activity online: https://commongroundinternational.com/medical-spanish/mental-health-conversation-in-spanish-listening-comprehension/ At the bottom of the post, you’ll see links to all the other blog posts in the mental health series. This is totally free for you to work through.
2. When you’re ready for some live practice, then private lessons with one of our instructors to focus specifically on your frequent conversations with your patients: https://commongroundinternational.com/store/spanish-tutoring/online-spanish-tutoring/
Of course Mastering Medical Spanish is an amazing course that would be excellent for you. We run this course 2x/year (fall and spring) and our next session will begin in September: https://commongroundinternational.com/medical-spanish/crash-course/mms/
Hello —
I am looking for a medical spanish course that is appropriate for a physician. I am an OBGYN. I did take spanish in college and medical-spanish in med school, but it was a limited and a long time ago. Do you have something that would work? Immersion or online.
Thanks,
LT
Hi LT, thanks for the note! Yes we have both immersion courses and online medical Spanish courses that you would find interesting and VERY helpful in your work with Spanish speaking patients. A good place to start would be to take this Spanish placement test and I can make some recommendations for you! Cheers, Rory Foster
Can you get graduate credit or license renewal credit in the state of Iowa for these courses? I’m a former student of Apanish (4 years in high school, 2 in college, DECADES AGO) and currently a math teacher, each year, to several Spanish speaking students from Puerto Rico. While I feel like I’m holding my own, I would love a refresher course on Spanish for the classroom, so that I can help my students feel comfortable and more welcomed.
Hola Jeri! Thanks for your message. Yes, our Masterclass for educators is approved from credit. You can find out more about it here: https://commongroundinternational.com/store/online-courses/online-spanish-for-teachers/spanish-for-teachers-masterclass-parent-teacher-communication/
Let me know if you would like to be notified of the next session.
Gracias!
Hi! I signed up for the Spanish for healthcare workers via Facebook. However, I didn’t realize it was starting today. I would love to participate, but these dates this week did not work with my schedule. Can you help with possibly other dates. Thank you. Deanns
Hi Deanna, no problem at all. Get what you can out of the masterclass lessons even though you can’t make it to the live practice sessions. Next one is a bit of a wait…We’ll have our next masterclass in January.
I work for Driver’s License Services. While we don’t give the actual test in Spanish, it would help greatly to do the initial intake process in Spanish. This process includes initial document requirements and explains the drivers license process and requirements. Can you help with this?
Hello Cecilia, thanks for the note! Yes absolutely. These courses are individual instruction in nature – and the topics are flexible as you share your goals with your teacher. You are able to direct the content to what fits your needs and interests for learning Spanish. We’d be glad to work with you! I’ll reach out to you over email and we can get you all set up. Cheers, Rory
Hello,
I work for a Social Services non-profit that provides home repair services. Many of our clients are Spanish-Speaking and we are looking for an training course that we could tailor to our work – very construction focused. We have three staff members who are interested in Spanish training.
What products do you have that might work for our team? We are hoping we can purchase an online class and have a small study-group to go through the program together
Hi Virginia, thanks for the note! I’ll reach out to you over email and we can discuss some options. Cheers, Rory Foster
