Can I list one day shadowing experiences in experience section? Like I did long term shadowing with family medicine doctors but did one day shadowing with 2 specialists a neurosurgeon and cardiologist.

I shadowed an oncologist for 1 day, and I didn't put it on there. I think you can but they may ask you why you never went back to shadow more during an interview. Just make sure you have an answer in case they ask you that question

Can you include those hours for shadowing and then list FM, Neurosurg and Cards without being specific or perhaps XXhrs FM, 16 hours Cards/Neurosurg. It shows that you took time to explore a few specialties and that you didn't stop at the one FM experience.
I would include the hours. No down side.

I did this and would do it again.

Yes, it's very common.
