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.
Pre-advisements are meant to help provide guidance and support for prospective students as they prepare to apply to one of our programs. I am not offering any post-advisements at this time. If you do not see any availability that aligns with your schedule, you are welcome to contact me at admiss@upstate.edu.
I look forward to connecting with you!
