Paramedic vs. EMS/EMT for aspiring premeds (what is your perspective?)

General question from some conversations: A few premed applicants have expressed concern that there is greater value in being a "paramedic" versus an EMT. For those who might be interested, can you provide your thoughts about the differences (whether one is "better" than the other for medical school preparation)? What do you wish non-clinical application screeners knew about the difference?
