    Voytek Slowik, MD, graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in cellular biology cum laude from the University of Kansas. He then went on to graduate from medical school at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. He first joined the team at Children’s Mercy – Kansas City as a general pediatric resident in 2011 and stayed until completion of his pediatric gastroenterology fellowship in 2017. Dr. Slowik then completed a fellowship in pediatric transplant hepatology at Seattle Children’s Hospital in 2018 and then came back to Children’s Mercy – Kansas City as faculty. As a junior career physician scientist, he has been focusing his research into portal hypertension, transplant rejection, and pediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Active collaborations with the Society of Pediatric Liver Transplantation (SPLIT), Center for Children’s Healthy Lifestyle’s & Nutrition (CHLN), and the Department of Pharmacology, Toxicology & Therapeutics at the University of Kansas School of Medicine have resulted in multiple grant awards and publications. His true pride remains the family he builds with his wife, Kaitlin, and their four children in Kansas City.
