Assistant Director of Didactic Education - Physician Assistant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Actually we need to use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include sections only when posting has real specific content. The posting includes: Benefits list, Position Summary (maybe About the role), Essential Functions (Responsibilities), Required Qualifications (Qualifications), plus maybe Skills (some listed). Also Work Environment (maybe not needed). No Pay or Schedule info. So we should not create Pay or Schedule sections. We need to use

for each section heading. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

  for prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes some EEO statement at end: "South University is an Equal Opportunity Employer...". That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also "Work Environment" maybe not a required heading but could be considered part of description; but we can include as prose under maybe "About the role" or separate? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Work Environment into About the role or Responsibilities? Probably better to keep as a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? But we have specific sections: About the role (position summary), Responsibilities (essential functions), Requirements (maybe required qualifications), Qualifications (maybe education/certifications), Skills (skills list), Benefits (benefits list). We need to decide mapping. The posting includes: - Benefits list: Medical Dental Vision FSA/HSA Tuition Assistant Program Long/Short Term Disability Life Insurance Employee Assistance Program 401K Match Paid Time Off 12 Paid Holidays includes domestic partner coverage - Position Summary: paragraph about Assistant Director of Didactic Education responsibilities overview. - Essential Functions: a long list of duties (each sentence ends with a period). Could be turned into

  • items. - Required Qualifications: includes Education and Certifications, Experience, etc. Could be split into Qualifications (education/certifications) and Experience (maybe under Requirements). But we have headings: Qualifications, Requirements, Skills. We could treat "Required Qualifications" as Qualifications heading, and within that we have subpoints: Education and Certifications, Experience, etc. Could also separate Experience as Requirements. Skills list: many ability statements. We need to preserve all substantive info; we can break into sub-lists under headings. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is Assistant Director of Didactic Education. Not to be used as heading. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings (none present). We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft:

    We should not include Work Environment or EEO statements. Check that we didn't include any placeholder like "commensurate with experience" - we omitted that phrase from Required Qualifications? Actually the posting had: "The Assistant Director of Didactic Education is a member of the faculty (rank commensurate with experience) with the Physician Assistant Program." That's a detail we might need to preserve. It's substantive? It's about rank commensurate with experience. Should we include? It's not a list but a statement. Could be placed under Qualifications or About the role. Since we have Qualifications section, we could add a sentence: "The Assistant Director of Didactic Education is a member of the faculty (rank commensurate with experience) with the Physician Assistant Program." That is substantive. We should preserve it. Where to put? Maybe under Qualifications as a paragraph after the list. Also we omitted the sentence about "The Assistant Director of Didactic Education must assure that the South University philosophy is considered in carrying out the duties and responsibilities of this position, which includes quality services to clients; development, growth, involvement, and recognition of employees; sound economic principles; and maintenance of an environment which is conducive to innovation, positive thinking, and expansion." That's also substantive. Could be placed under Responsibilities or About the role. Probably under Responsibilities as an overarching responsibility. We could add a bullet. Also we omitted the sentence about "The Assistant Director of Didactic Education will work in synergy with their counterparts at other South University PA programs." Already covered in bullet about serving on curriculum committee? Actually we have bullet about serving on PA Department’s Curriculum Committee in conjunction with counterpart(s) from other South PA programs. That's similar but not exactly the same. The phrase "will work in synergy with their counterparts at other South University PA programs." Could be added as bullet. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract all substantive sentences from the posting and ensure they are represented. Let's parse the posting: First paragraph about South University environment (boilerplate? maybe not needed but it's descriptive about university; could be considered About the role? It's generic marketing; maybe we can keep as About the role? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The first paragraph is promotional about South University; not boilerplate but could be considered fluff. However it's substantive about the university environment. Might be okay to keep as part of About the role. But we already have About the role with Position Summary. Could incorporate that paragraph as part of About the role before Position Summary. However the instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could keep About the role as a paragraph that includes the university description and the Position Summary. Let's capture: - "South University provides a warm, supportive learning environment that will encourage you to join a community of faculty, staff and students eager to play a role in helping you achieve your professional goals, on campus and online." (University description) - "The South University 125-year story—past, present, and future—is a history formed by the many individuals who have developed the education and spirit of community that have become our pledge to students, faculty, staff, alumni and supporters of South University." (History) - "Whether you have been part of the University family for many years, have recently come our way, or are thinking about joining us, you will find South University to be a place you can call home." (Place to call home) - "What's next for you is the first priority for us! Visit www.southuniversity.edu today to learn more about what makes us stand apart as a place where you can make a difference in the lives of students eager to learn and grow." (Call to action - maybe considered application instruction? It's a visit website; could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly applying but could be considered promotional. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction says remove application instructions. This is a call to visit website to learn more; could be considered application instruction? Probably yes, it's directing to learn more; but it's not exactly how to apply. Safer to remove? The instruction: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." The line "Visit www.southuniversity.edu today to learn more about what makes us stand apart as a place where you can make a difference in the lives of students eager to learn and grow." is promotional but could be considered application instruction? It's not exactly how to apply, but
