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.cmhprofilesont:personsuffixperson suffixprns:coAuthorOfcoauthor ofprns:endDateend dateFaculty Rankprns:fullNamefull nameprns:hasAuthorListauthor listprns:hasFacultyRankhas faculty rankprns:hasNetworkhas networkprns:hasPublicationVenuepublished inprns:informationResourceReferenceinformation resource referenceprns:isPrimaryPositionis primary positionprns:latitudelatitudeprns:longitudelongitudeprns:mainImagephotoprns:maxWeightmaximum weightprns:medlineTAjournal title abbreviationprns:meshDescriptorUIMeSH DescriptorUIprns:meshSemanticGroupNameMeSH semantic group nameprns:minWeightminimum weightprns:numberOfAuthorsnumber of authorsprns:numberOfConnectionsnumber of connectionsprns:numberOfPublicationsnumber of publicationsprns:personIdPerson IDprns:personInPrimaryPositionperson in primary positionprns:physicalNeighborOfphysical neighborprns:positionInDepartmentposition in departmentprns:positionInDivisionposition in divisionprns:predicateNodepredicate nodeprns:publicationDatepublication dateprns:similarTosimilar toprns:sortOrdersort orderprns:trainingAtOrganizationeducational organizationprns:trainingLocationtraining locationprns:uniquenessWeightuniqueness weightprns:yearyearAcademic ArticleArticleDocumentbibo:pmidPubMed Identifierbibo:suffixNamename suffixAddressvivo:address1address line 1vivo:address2address line 2vivo:addressCitycityvivo:addressPostalCodepostal codevivo:addressStatestate or provincevivo:authorInAuthorshipselected publicationsvivo:authorRankauthor rank in publicationAuthorshipvivo:degreeEarneddegree earnedDepartmentDivisionvivo:educationalTrainingeducation and trainingEducational Trainingvivo:faxNumberfaxvivo:freetextKeywordkeywordsvivo:hasResearchArearesearch areasvivo:hrJobTitleHR job titleInformation Resourcevivo:linkedAuthorlinked authorvivo:linkedInformationResourcelinked information resourcevivo:mailingAddressmailing addressvivo:majorFieldmajor field of degreevivo:middleNamemiddle name or initialvivo:orcidIdORCID idvivo:personInPositionpositionsvivo:phoneNumberphonePositionvivo:positionInOrganizationposition in organizationvivo:preferredTitlepreferred titlevivo:researchOverviewresearch overviewrdf:predicatepredicaterdf:typetyperdfs:labellabelConceptAgentfoaf:firstNamefirst namefoaf:lastNamelast nameOrganizationPerson24093640Septer S, Slowik V, Morgan R, Dai H, Attard THereditary cancer in clinical practiceSepter S, Slowik V, Morgan R, Dai H, Attard T.
