How a Classroom Shooting Changed Her Life with Terri King

Terri King shares how a 1994 classroom shooting led her into EMS in 1996, progressing from EMT work and first response at the University of Texas to becoming a paramedic and joining Williamson County EMS in 1999, where she moved into education and clinical practice. She explains clinical practice responsibilities including onboarding, ensuring readiness for truck work, aligning care with medical director expectations, report writing, and providing continuing education. King advises aspiring EMS instructors to teach from passion, accept not knowing everything, and build public speaking skill through repetition. She discusses developing command presence through medical understanding, communication, and learning names, and distinguishes remediable medical mistakes from unacceptable poor customer service. She also offers interview tips: prepare with structured questions, research the agency, show enthusiasm, and ask thoughtful questions about support after difficult calls.
