I only know about Ireland, the UK and Germany. All of them have undergraduate medical schools and they're all really, really hard. But the competition to get in is intense enough and meritocratic enough that if you did get in you are fully capable of passing absent the emergence of mental health problems.

The intern year is pure hell everywhere as far as I know but that's after you graduate even you want to qualify as a doctor. A year when working a mere 60 hours basically qualifies as a week off and people commiserate over the length of time they've gone without sleep.
