Glick is a political moderate. In 1988 he told a reporter from the New York Times that Israel should be willing to trade land for peace, "We would give up Jewish land not with a sigh of relief, like taking off a tight pair of shoes, but rather with the anguish of an amputation. It would be a painful sacrifice, but we would be willing to consider it."

Glick is a graduate of SUNY Downstate Medical Center. He did his medical training (internship, residency) at Yale University Medical Center and at the Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. He then served as a research fellow at the Bronx Veterans Administration Hospitalin the laboratory of Berson and Yalow (Nobel Laureate). Before moving to Israel in 1974, Glick was Chief of Medical Services at the Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn and Clinical Professor of Medicine at Downstate Medical Center.
