I'm pre-med and interested in becoming a paramedic, is this a good idea?

I'm a junior in college. I've completed all my pre-med requirements and done well in them. I have two years left in college and my school has a paramedic program which if I choose to do would have me qualified as a paramedic by next summer. Oh yeah, I'm already an EMT and love the work. I'm definitely interested in being a paramedic and think that it is at least as applicable in my ultimate goal of medical school as chemistry or biology is. Should I go for it?! Thanks!

you may have figured but I'm an EMT-B.

I already have a chemistry minor and actually doing this program won't affect when I graduate at all.

Go for it. The experience you would get as a medic would definitely help you out in med school. Since you're already an EMT, you are familiar with the field. I think you find being a medic helpful. By all means, do it.
