Abstract
This study aimed at finding out the English language needs of Medical students and General Practitioners in an EFL context. 110 female and male students from Guilan University of Medical Sciences, who had already taken General English and English for Medical purposes courses, 40 General Practitioners who graduated from Guilan University and they work in different hospitals in Rasht city currently, and among 3 EFL instructors and 12 Subject-matter instructors participated in this study. The findings of the study showed that both medical students and General Practitioners valued reading skill, higher than the other language skills followed by writing skill. However, speaking skill had the least significance for both groups. And also General practitioners reflected higher needs towards English language than medical students. According to the fact that actual needs of medicine students generally change across time and educational settings, the EMP instructor should try to find the real needs of the learners and assess the effectiveness of his/her course based on the investigation of changing needs of the students.
