Dr. Gelman was born and grew up in the Soviet Union and emigrated to Israel in 1973 during the Yom Kippur War. In 1976, he moved to Cleveland, Ohio, then to Birmingham, Alabama in  1978, where he completed a residency in anesthesiology in 1979, and then became the Chairman of the department at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

"I originally thought surgery would be my career in medicine," Dr. Gelman said. "Then I discovered anesthesiology. But my inspiration to become a doctor came after reading the novel Arrowsmith by Sinclair Lewis."  Dr. Gelman earned his Medical degree from St. Petersburg State Medical School.

He then went on to complete his residency in University Hospitals at Case Western Reserve University, following his immigration to the United States in 1976. He holds a Massachusetts State Medical License and is Board Certified in Anesthesiology by the American Board of Anesthesiology.

(Gelman, S.; Anesthesiology. 2014 Jul 23.), and; 'Hypotension during gradual blood loss: waveform variables response and absence of tachycardia.' (Pizov R, Eden A, Bystritski D, Kalina E, Tamir A, Gelman S; Br J Anaesth. 2012-12-01.)

He has more than 130 visiting professorships and more than 200 publications, as well as a fellowship, a named lecture at Brigham and Women's Hospital and two endowed chairs in his name, one through the University of Alabama in Birmingham, and the other through Harvard Medical School.

Dr. Gelman claims that the key to success is, "stubborness", "tenaciousness," and to like what you are doing. He adds that his role model was his father, for his photography. Additionally, he dedicates this recognition to his wife, Maria; to his two sons; and six grandchildren.
