In order to clarify the goal of medical English education, this study: 1) developed Can-Do Statements for English for Medical Purposes (EMP) and English for General Purposes (EGP), and 2) conducted questionnaire surveys to articulate students' needs and self-assessed abilities for EMP and general English proficiency, as well as teachers' expectations for EMP and EGP. According to our research, receptive skills, especially reading, were recognized as the most necessary by both students and medical teachers, whereas differences of opinion between them were found in such areas as perceived English needs for interactive situations. Among reading skills, abstract reading was the only skill that the teachers and the students had very different opinions about. Further, this study revealed medical teachers' expectations for the students' general English proficiency level. Analyzing the responses to the questionnaires based on the TOEIC Can-Do Guide, we found that students need a minimum score of 460 (230 each for Listening and Reading), with an ideal score of 860 (430 each for Listening and Reading) on the scale of TOEIC. These findings exert a beneficial impact on medical English education.
