The interviewer has likely already inquired about your formal education and now wants to learn if you've taken any extra courses or training on your own time to further your competencies and skills. Consider topics like continued training in Assistive Technology, Aquatic Therapeutic Exercise, Basic DIRFloortime. Certified Hand Therapy, Certified Lymphedema Specialist, etc., that you may have completed since graduating. Provide the interviewer with your extra education, and if you haven't completed any, be honest and describe topics or training you would be interested in pursuing.

"As a recent graduate, I was focused on completing my occupational therapy degree, so I do not have any other specialty certificates at the moment. I love to learn and am eager to continue advancing my skills, so eventually, I would like to consider pursuing additional training on assistive technology and devices or gerontology."

"In the rehab setting, I work with patients who have suffered from fractures, tendon injuries, amputations, arthritis, and muscle strains. About three years ago, I obtained my certificate to be a certified hand therapist. This certification allows me to help patients regain manual skills and resume functional activities with their hands and upper extremities."
