Two-time alumnus Sotos G. Djiovanis has more than a decade of continuous clinical practice caring for adult and geriatric populations in acute care and home health settings in Central Florida. In both his clinical and faculty appointments, Djiovanis routinely shares his expertise through mentorship, leadership and service to advance nursing education and practice. At UCF’s College of Nursing, where he serves as the lead faculty for Health Assessment and Health Assessment Lab, Djiovanis has standardized course resources and evidence-based teaching strategies. He also has helped lead the development of dedicated education units and international study abroad opportunities. His dedication to nursing education and practice extends to his research, which focuses on nursing communication, educational gaming, simulation and the use of music interventions in healthcare — blending his first career in music and second career in nursing. Two dedicated careers he continues today. Djiovanis, whose first doctorate degree is in music performance, has played oboe and English horn with the Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra since 2010.
