He holds an MD qualification and works as a GP registrar with the Royal Flying Doctor Service South Eastern section based in Broken Hill, where he also staffs the local hospital emergency department one week per month. His clinical interests include men's health, mental health, and procedures. Gladman brings experience in research, management positions, and teaching Aboriginal health workers, having pursued medicine later in life. He is married with four children and enjoys outdoor activities with family and friends when possible.
At Adelaide University, Gladman contributes significantly to medical education, listed as an instructor for multiple courses in the Doctor of Medicine program, including Foundations of Medicine (MEDI 1001), Medical Studies 1 (MEDI 1002), Medical Studies 2A (MEDI 2001), Medical Studies 2B (MEDI 2002), The Healthcare Continuum (Rural) Part 1 (MEDI 5005), The Healthcare Continuum (Rural) Part 2 (MEDI 5006), and Women's and Children's Health (Rural) Part 2 (MEDI 5004). He has served as course coordinator for certain rural placements, such as those in Broken Hill. His research output includes the publication 'Measuring organisational-level Aboriginal cultural climate to tailor cultural safety strategies' in Rural and Remote Health (2015), co-authorship in 'Person-centered, non-pharmacological intervention in established dementia: A quasi-experimental feasibility study' (2021), and 'What a Pandemic Has Taught Us About the Potential for Rapid Implementation of Telehealth as a Service Delivery Model for Rural Geriatrics' (2021). Earlier affiliations with Flinders University School of Medicine involved work on rural public health training and ethical research in partnership with Indigenous communities, with publications such as 'Training Australian general practitioners in rural public health: Impact, desirability and adaptability of hybrid problem-based learning' (2012). Gladman has delivered public lectures on telehealth, distance and weather barriers for rural patients, and RFDS student placements. His efforts support rural and remote healthcare delivery and education in Australia.
