Certified Ophthalmic Assistant
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting.
Let's extract:
Intro: "Explore opportunities at Atrius Health, part of the Optum family of businesses. We're an innovative health care leader and multi-specialty group practice, delivering an effective, connected system of care for adult and pediatric patients at 28 practice locations in eastern Massachusetts. Our entire team of providers (physicians, AP/NPs and ancillary clinicians) works collaboratively with a value-based philosophy within our group practice as well as with hospitals, rehab and nursing facilities. Be part of our vision to transform care and improve lives by building trust, understanding and shared decision-making with every patient. Join us and discover the meaning behind Caring. Connecting.

Then description of role: "Under general supervision, facilitates patient care by performing preliminary work up of the patient, providing mechanical and technical examinations leading to the diagnosis and treatment by the clinician. Completes all of the basic skills required to support the clinicians.

If incumbents fail the test twice within two years, they will be terminated but able to apply for open available positions within the organization."
Then "Primary Responsibilities" list: many bullet-like sentences. We'll turn each into
- .
Then after responsibilities: "You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in." This could be part of About the role or maybe Benefits? It's more about culture; could be part of About the role.
Then "Required Qualifications" list: High School diploma or equivalency certificate (e.g. GED, HiSET, TASC Test) from an accredited institution or governmental unit; Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) may be required based on specialty; Proven ability to use all electronic tools and applications relevant to the performance of the duties of the position, including but not limited to phone, keyboard, computer and computer applications; Proven to performs all job functions in compliance with applicable federal, state, local and company policies and procedures.

Then "Pay is based on several factors including but not limited to local labor markets, education, work experience, certifications, etc. In addition to your salary, we offer benefits such as, a comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution (all benefits are subject to eligibility requirements). No matter where or when you begin a career with us, you'll find a far-reaching choice of benefits and incentives. The hourly pay for this role will range from $20.00 - $36.00 per hour based on full-time employment. We comply with all minimum wage laws as applicable."
Thus Benefits: comprehensive benefits package, incentive and recognition programs, equity stock purchase and 401k contribution.
Pay: hourly range $20.00 - $36.00 per hour.
No schedule.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO, drug test, mission statements after that. The latter part about UnitedHealth Group mission, EEO, drug-free workplace, etc. Should be removed.

Thus Pay section could have two paragraphs: one about factors, one about range.
Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, drug test, mission statements after that. Remove the UnitedHealth Group mission paragraph etc.
