Slørdahl’s research background is in cardiac ultrasound, stroke units and physical training of cardiac patients. He is a Fellow of the European Society of Cardiology (from 2002) and a member of The Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (from 2009).
Slørdahl is chair at the Faculty of Health Sciences, The Arctic University of Norway (2022-).
Slørdahl was chair of The Joint Committee of the Nordic Medical Research Councils (NOS-M) 2010-2012 (member 2005-2017) and member of European Medical Research Councils Core Group 2009-2012. He was chair of the Scientific Review Group for the Biomedical Sciences in European Science Foundation 2013-2015. He was a member of the board of Division for Science 2007-2015 at The Research Council of Norway. He was also member of the board of SINTEF (the largest independent research organization in Scandinavia) 2009-2015,The Cancer Registry of Norway 2010-2015, UiT- The Arctic University of Norway 2017-2021 and Linköpings University (Sweden) 2020-2024 .
As professor he was responsible for the first revision of our complete medical school curriculum and established also the most popular course at the university “Introduction to Medicine for non-medical students”.
In 2001-2003 Slørdahl and five colleagues established and operated a clinic for research based training for patients and healthy persons. He had a weekly blog on forskning.no (2009-2015).
