Cardiac Sonographer
HealthcareFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Careers With Purpose Sanford Health..." but we need to extract sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use
for each heading only if there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, application instructions, etc. Keep substantive info.
Let's parse content:
- Intro: "Careers With Purpose Sanford Health, the largest rural health system in the United States, is dedicated to transforming the health care experience and providing access to world-class health care in America’s heartland." This is about organization, maybe "About the role"? Actually it's about the organization. Could be "About the role" or "About Sanford Health". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We could put that intro under "About the role". It's substantive.
- Facility details: Facility: Riverview Clinic Crookston Location: Crookston, MN Address: 323 S Minnesota St, Crookston, MN 56716, USA Shift: 8 Hours - Day Shifts Job Schedule: Full time Weekly Hours: 40.00 Salary Range: $34.00 - $52.00 Pay Info: $20,000 sign-on bonus with a 2-year work commitment
We have Pay info: Salary range and sign-on bonus. Also schedule: Full time, 40 hours weekly, shift 8 Hours - Day Shifts. So we can create Pay section with salary range and sign-on bonus. Schedule section with shift and schedule.
- Department Details: Regional mobile position based out of East Grand Forks. Sonographer will travel to various regional sites to perform echocardiograms. Position includes a company vehicle and Philips CX 50 to perform these exams.
That's about role/responsibilities.
- Job Summary: list of duties: Performs echocardiography tests/procedures... etc. That's responsibilities.
- Qualifications: big section with state-specific requirements.
- Benefits: paragraph about benefits package.
- Also there is EEO etc which we drop.
- Also there is "Req Number: R-0274367 Job Function: Allied Health Featured: No" - drop.
Thus sections:
About the role: include intro + facility + department details? Could separate but we have limited headings. Could put facility details under About the role as well.
Responsibilities: job summary bullet list.
Requirements: maybe combine with Qualifications? But we have both Requirements and Qualifications headings allowed. Could put state-specific qualifications under Qualifications, and maybe general requirements (like BLS certification, driver's license) under Requirements. Or we could just use Qualifications for all qualification info and leave Requirements empty? But we must not emit heading with filler. So we need to decide which sections have content.
We have:
- About the role: organization intro, facility, department details.
- Responsibilities: job summary duties.
- Requirements: maybe BLS certification, driver's license, etc. Also maybe "Basic Life Support (BLS) certification within six weeks of employment and re-certification as necessary is required." Also "For employees who provide outreach mobile services, maintenance of a valid driver’s license and good driving record is required." Also "Employees are held to the Sanford category driver's license policy and medical guidelines when applicable for job duties." Also maybe "Adheres to safety and infection control policies established by Sanford." etc. Those could be requirements.
- Qualifications: education and certification requirements per state.
- Skills: maybe not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills.
- Benefits: benefits paragraph.
- Pay: salary range and sign-on bonus.
- Schedule: shift, full time, weekly hours.
We must not invent content. Ensure we only include what is present.
Let's extract exact sentences.
About the role:
"Careers With Purpose Sanford Health, the largest rural health system in the United States, is dedicated to transforming the health care experience and providing access to world-class health care in America’s heartland."
Facility: "Facility: Riverview Clinic Crookston Location: Crookston, MN Address: 323 S Minnesota St, Crookston, MN 56716, USA Shift: 8 Hours - Day Shifts Job Schedule: Full time Weekly Hours: 40.00 Salary Range: $34.00 - $52.00 Pay Info: $20,000 sign-on bonus with a 2-year work commitment"
But some of that belongs to Pay and Schedule sections. We'll split.
Department Details: "Regional mobile position based out of East Grand Forks. Sonographer will travel to various regional sites to perform echocardiograms. Position includes a company vehicle and Philips CX 50 to perform these exams."
We could combine intro and department details under About the role.
Responsibilities (Job Summary):
"Performs echocardiography tests/procedures in accordance with the American Society of Echocardiography standards. Prepares patients for exams by explaining procedures, transferring patients to the ultrasound table, applying gel, and positioning patients properly. Operates the ultrasound equipment to produce and record images of the motion, shape, and composition of blood, organs, tissues, or bodily masses, such as fluid accumulations. Performs the echocardiogram and oral and/or written preliminary summary of technical findings to interpreting physician for use in medical diagnosis. Thoroughly understands the operation of the ultrasound machine and utilizes new sonographic technologies when needed. Performs routine cardiac ultrasound procedures in a clinic, hospital, and mobile sites depending on location. Interacts professionally and effectively with fellow health care professionals. Assists in the submission and /or maintenance of Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) accreditation when necessary. Supervises or trains students and cardiac sonographers as needed. Adheres to safety and infection control policies established by Sanford. Adheres to established internal standards and procedures abstracted from Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPPA). Additionally, based on the facility, some Sanford markets/facility sites may expand job responsibilities to include ultrasonography."
We need to keep that as responsibilities.
Requirements: Let's gather statements that are requirements (not qualifications). From text:
- "Basic Life Support (BLS) certification within six weeks of employment and re-certification as necessary is required."
- "For employees who provide outreach mobile services, maintenance of a valid driver’s license and good driving record is required. This may include passenger on flights and occasional overnight stays at assigned sites. Employees are held to the Sanford category driver's license policy and medical guidelines when applicable for job duties."
- Also maybe "Adheres to safety and infection control policies established by Sanford." but that's more responsibility.
- "Adheres to established internal standards and procedures abstracted from Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPPA)." also responsibility.
- "When working or hired in South Dakota: Graduate from an accredited two-year Cardiac Ultrasound Program required." That's qualification.
- Many qualification statements.
Thus Requirements section can contain BLS cert and driver's license.
We could also include "Supervises or trains students and cardiac sonographers as needed." but that's responsibility.
Thus Requirements: BLS certification, driver's license.
Qualifications: all the education/certification/state-specific requirements.
Let's extract qualifications precisely:
Paragraph:
"Qualifications When working or hired in South Dakota: Graduate from an accredited two-year Cardiac Ultrasound Program required. When working or hired in North Dakota: Graduate from an accredited school of cardiac sonography program or one year work experience in cardiac sonography preferred. On the job training may be considered with appropriate leadership approval and must have an allied health certificate/diploma in an imaging modality to be considered for on the job training. When working in Minnesota: Graduate from an accredited two-year Cardiac Ultrasound Program OR a bachelor’s degree and one year equivalent work experience required. When working in all other states: Minimum of one year equivalent work experience or an allied health certificate/diploma required. When working or hired in South Dakota: American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) or Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI), or registry eligible is required within 12 months into the position. Leadership may require this to be obtained in less than 12 months depending on needs of the department. Department needs may shorten this time frame if applicable. When working in all other states: Credentialed with the American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT), American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS), or Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI), or registry eligible is required within 18 months of hire. Leadership may extend this time depending on department needs. If working in North Dakota and performing medical imaging or radiation therapy procedures, licensure through the North Dakota Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (NDMIRT) Board is required. For employees who provide outreach mobile services, maintenance of a valid driver’s license and good driving record is required. This may include passenger on flights and occasional overnight stays at assigned sites. Employees are held to the Sanford category driver's license policy and medical guidelines when applicable for job duties. Basic Life Support (BLS) certification within six weeks of employment and re-certification as necessary is required."
Wait that last part duplicates requirements. Actually the qualifications section includes also driver's license and BLS again. But we already placed those in Requirements. However the text repeats them; we must not duplicate content? The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all info, but we can organize it; duplication may be okay if it's present in original. However we should avoid repeating same info twice? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; does not forbid duplication if it's in source. But we could keep it in one place to avoid redundancy but risk missing some nuance. However the duplicated content is exactly same as earlier; it's okay to include once. But we need to ensure we didn't omit any nuance: The qualifications paragraph includes also "If working in North Dakota and performing medical imaging or radiation therapy procedures, licensure through the North Dakota Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy (NDMIRT) Board is required." That's a qualification/requirement specific to ND. Also "For employees who provide outreach mobile services, maintenance of a valid driver’s license and good driving record is required." That's also a requirement but we already have driver's license. Also BLS again.
Thus we should include all qualification statements, including those about driver's license and BLS, but we can keep them under Qualifications (or Requirements). Since we already have a Requirements section for BLS and driver's license, we could keep them there and not duplicate. But we must preserve all substantive info; if we omit the duplicate lines, we are not losing info because it's already present. That's acceptable.
Thus Qualifications: all the education and certification requirements per state, plus ARDMS/CCI/ARRT timelines, plus NDMIRT licensure for ND.
Let's extract them clearly:
- When working or hired in South Dakota: Graduate from an accredited two-year Cardiac Ultrasound Program required.
- When working or hired in North Dakota: Graduate from an accredited school of cardiac sonography program or one year work experience in cardiac sonography preferred. On the job training may be considered with appropriate leadership approval and must have an allied health certificate/diploma in an imaging modality to be considered for on the job training.
- When working in Minnesota: Graduate from an accredited two-year Cardiac Ultrasound Program OR a bachelor’s degree and one year equivalent work experience required.
- When working in all other states: Minimum of one year equivalent work experience or an allied health certificate/diploma required.
- When working or hired in South Dakota: American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers (ARDMS) or Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI), or registry eligible is required within 12 months into the position. Leadership may require this to be obtained in less than 12 months depending on needs of the department. Department needs may shorten this time frame if applicable.
- When working in all other states: Credential
