Who is CertifiedSpanish.com?
CertifiedSpanish.com is a project created by Common Ground International. This certification process is the natural progression of more than a decade of teaching medical professionals how to use responsible Spanish with their patients AND the lack of accessible certification options for healthcare professionals who DON’T want to be interpreters.
