Dr. Delman's clinical practice focuses on treating complex cutaneous oncology, including melanoma, sarcoma, adnexal tumors of the skin, and Merkel cell carcinoma. As co-chair of Winship Cancer Institute's Melanoma Working Group/Multi-Disciplinary Tumor Board from 2006-2020, and now Winship's Melanoma Disease Team Leader, he oversees the multidisciplinary care of nearly half of all patients diagnosed with melanoma in the state of Georgia.

In 2009, Dr. Delman and Emory urologist Dr. Viraj Master were the first team in the world to perform minimally invasive inguinofemoral lymphadenectomy for melanoma. Since then, they have taught the procedure to surgeons from around the world.

Dr. Delman's achievements as an educator include: serving as program director of the Emory general surgery residency from 2011-2020; assisting in the establishment of the Emory Surgery Global Surgery Program in 2011, one of the first American Board of Surgery-approved international surgical training experiences; spearheading the 2012 renovation of the Department of Surgery's surgical education offices in Emory University Hospital to include such technologies as a dedicated 24 hour simulation lab; and transitioning the Carlos and Davis Center for Surgical Anatomy and Technique (CSAT) from its primarily print media platform to a digital, electronic format to disseminate educational materials related to developing knowledge of surgical anatomy. He then served as director of CSAT from 2012-2022.
