I can't imagine there would be a bias against them.
You likely will be barred from working by your medical school.

neither a big pro or con
1) I know plenty of people who did per-diem EMS in medical school
2) I think it is a positive when applying to residency if you are cool about it, but a lot of people in med school never STFU about "back when I worked in the field and we did the REAL MEDICINE blah blah blah"....it's like, dude, we're trying to memorize the brachial plexus over here, simmer down. So don't be that guy whose personal statement is all about EMS and you always wear black tactical boots 365 days a year and talk about "tubing" people over lunch and whine about the "young" medical students
