This research which uses a qualitative case study design is conducted in a Vocational School in Tasikmalaya. To collect data, the researcher combines the data obtained from thirty-one participants consisting of one English teacher and thirty medical students using semi-structured interviews and an open questionnaire. The results of semi-structured interviews shows that the English vocabulary needed by medical students contains a collection of English vocabulary-specific terms for drugs, diseases, medical equipment, etc. Meanwhile, the results of the open-ended questionnaire based on students' perceptions indicate that medical vocabulary is important because learning English vocabulary can increase students' knowledge.
