This is partially the purpose of army basic training. If you can’t take the stress of boot camp, it’s good to know that before you’re faced with the stress of combat.

I am curious if medical training (which apparently involves lots of crazy shifts) has a similar purpose.

"Hazing" in general has a "let's subject you to hardship to see what you're made of" component to it, which is sometimes of value and sometimes is just a cargo-cult.
