Clinical Responsibilities

Dr. Slater is a recognized expert in clinical cardiology, with particular expertise in cardiac arrhythmia management. Following his graduation from Harvard Medical School, he did his residency training at the NYU School of Medicine. After completing a cardiology fellowship at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, Dr. Slater did post-fellowship cardiac arrhythmia training at Harvard, first under Dr. Bernard Lown at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and later in the clinical electrophysiology program at Massachusetts General Hospital. In 1986 Dr. Slater returned to NYU and established a practice in clinical cardiology within NYU Medical Center which continues today. Dr. Slater has served in several other roles as well. He was the founding Chief of Cardiac Electrophysiology at St. Vincent's Hospital from 1994 to 2000, served as Chief of the Medical Service at NYU Hospitals Center, and, since 2004, has been Co-Chief of the Cardiac Consultation Service at NYU-Bellevue Hospital Center. Dr. Slater is the recipient of numerous awards. He has received the annual Teacher of The Year Award from the Department of Medicine three times, as well as the Teacher of the Year Award from the Division of Cardiology three times. In 2004, he was awarded the Alpha Omega Alpha Award in recognition of excellence in scholarship, leadership and service as a clinical faculty member. In 2005, Dr. Slater received the Arnold P. Gold Foundation Humanism in Medicine Award, having been elected by the graduating class of the NYU School of Medicine as the faculty member who most displays characteristics of medical humanism in practice and teaching. In 2006-2007, Dr. Slater was recipient of the NYU Distinguished Teaching Medal, a university-wide award given to recognize gifted teaching across all undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools at NYU; this is the highest teaching honor which the University bestows. Dr. Slater has been recognized in the "America's Best Doctors" publications (Castle Connolly Guide to Best Doctors) annually since 2002. He also has been recognized in New York Magazine's "Best Doctors" guide for four years since 2006 in both Cardiology and Cardiac Electrophysiology. He has been listed in The New York Times "Super Docs" feature and is recognized in the US News and World Report "America's Best Doctors" guide. Dr. Slater is the author or co-author of many articles, ranging from molecular biology to clinical case discussions, and he has authored book chapters on management of cardiovascular disease. He has been a reviewer for the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. He is a primary lecturer to the first and second year medical students on cardiac physiology and cardiac arrhythmias, has played a leadership role in the pioneering curriculum for the medical school, and leads a regular lecture series on coronary artery disease and clinical arrhythmia management for the medical students, residents, and cardiology fellows. Dr. Slater partners with his nurse and office manager, Barbara Guerra, RN, who is trained and certified in holistic nursing, to provide a personalized approach to cardiac problems. His team integrates the latest scientific advances with the unique needs of the patient and aims to empower the patient in his or her care. He specializes in second opinions for complex cases in coronary artery disease, valvular heart disease, and arrhythmia management.
