Welcome to SUNY Upstate Medical University
![]() Hello there! My name is Derek Sexton and I am the Graduate Admissions Advisor for the College of Health Professions. I specialize in the admissions requirements and application processes for Upstate’s Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT), Physician Assistant, Clinical Perfusion, and Behavior Analysis programs. I regret to inform you that I will be unable to offer any advising appointments in February. While I will not be able to meet one-on-one at this time, I am still accessible to help you address your questions and concerns about applying to Upstate. For the time being, the best way to connect with me is via email at admiss@upstate.edu. Thank you for understanding, and I look forward to connecting with you! Derek Sexton | |
