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 member of the board of UiT - The Arctic University of Norway (2017-) and Linköpings University (2020-)

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 andThe Cancer Registry of Norway 2010-2015.
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).
