The Admissions Officer at Boston University wants evidence that you are interested in continually developing your craft. The speech pathology field is ever-changing. Talk about how you stay (and plan to stay) up to date on therapeutic trends and new medical breakthroughs.
Consider listing some medical journals that you like to read. You could even discuss an exciting topic you recently encountered related to SLP therapies. Perhaps you subscribe to a magazine or blog about speech-language treatments, or maybe you follow the social media accounts of admirable speech pathologists.
If you are being interviewed by program alumni or another student, consider asking the question in return. You never know what you might learn or which new and exciting resources you could be alerted to.

"I read The American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology regularly. In addition to medical journals, I also subscribe to the Activity Tailor blog, which is full of creative activity ideas for speech pathologists. It's important that I diversify where my news and methodologies come from, and I would love some fresh suggestions. Could you share your favorite resources for staying in touch with discoveries and trends in the SLP field?"
