The interviewer wants to know whether you track changes in the profession because laws and responsibilities are continually changing. It is also an opportunity to evaluate a candidate's understanding of what OTs do. Mention something you may have noticed while shadowing a practicing OT.

"Healthcare is changing. It is less about finding a diagnosis and cure a diagnosis. Medical practice is now starting to look at more holistic health and the functioning of the individual. This is exciting for me as an aspirational OT because I can use a skill set not in practice elsewhere. I see OTs having an essential role in healthcare now and in the future. "
