for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to parse the posting.
Let's extract content:
- Intro about Tennessee Oncology: description of organization, mission, etc. That's "About the role"? Actually "About the role" maybe about the job? But we have description of organization. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About the organization". The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use "About the role" for introductory paragraph about the job and organization.
- "Why Join Us?" maybe part of About the role.
- Job Description: list of duties: Maintain efficient operations of admixture area including safe preparation of medications and inventory management. Coordinate drug management and fulfillment support of multi-disciplinary clinic operations departments.
- Essential Functions: bullet list of many items.
- Knowledge, Skills & Abilities: bullet list.
- Education & Experience: bullet list.
- Physical Requirements: bullet list.
- There's also a table for Physical Activity Required Amount of time etc. That seems like physical requirements details. Might be part of Physical Requirements.
- No explicit Pay, Benefits, Schedule mentioned. So we should not include those sections.
- Also there is "Job Title Physical Activity Required Amount of time None Less than 1/3 (Occasionally) 1/3 to 2/3 (Frequently) More than 2/3 (Regularly) Standing X Walking X Sitting X Fingering or manual dexterity X Repetitive finger motion X Lifting or exerting force Up to 10 pounds Up to 25 pounds X Up to 50 pounds X Up to 100 pounds Over 100 pounds Reaching or stretching X Climbing or balancing X Crouching or stooping X Speaking X Hearing X Seeing (with correction) X". This is a table but we can convert to list.
We must not include duplicated lines. Also remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. There's none visible.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all essential functions, knowledge skills abilities, education & experience, physical requirements, and the physical activity table.
We need to format as - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For prose, use
.
Thus:
About the role
Tennessee Oncology, one of the nation’s largest, community-based cancer care specialists, is home to one of the leading clinical trial networks in the country. Established 1976 in Nashville, Tennessee Oncology’s mission remains unchanged: To provide access to high-quality cancer care and the expertise of clinical research for all patients, at convenient locations within their community and close to their home.

We believe caring for cancer patients is a privilege. Why Join Us? We are looking for talented and highly-motivated individuals who demonstrate a natural desire to support the meaningful work of community oncologists and the patients we serve.
Then Responsibilities: maybe combine Job Description and Essential Functions as responsibilities.
Responsibilities
- Maintain efficient operations of admixture area including safe preparation of medications and inventory management.
- Coordinate drug management and fulfillment support of multi-disciplinary clinic operations departments.
- Accurately retrieve medications required to fulfill medication orders
- Demonstrate professional competency in reviewing orders for appropriateness and accuracy
- Demonstrate proficiency in performing mathematical calculations required for determining drug dilution and final concentrations
- Aseptically prepare drug solutions and products
- Maintain admixture area in accordance with clean room guidelines
- Interpret the appropriateness of a medication order before preparing the medication.
- Evaluate critical patient information prior to beginning admixture according to policy and procedure.
- Maintain knowledge of all policies and procedures related to cleaning procedures and schedules
- Accurately perform inventory management and cleaning procedures
- Maintain inventory levels and logs as per protocols
- Receive inventory and oversee dispensing of all drugs
- Collaborate with the extended healthcare team in clinic regarding patient care activities
- Maintain all relevant clinical logs (i.e., cleaning, controlled substance, respirator, etc.)
- Serve as a drug information resource to clinical staff
- Effectively retrieve and utilize chemotherapy spill kits
- Follows all safety standards for handling chemotherapy and other hazardous drugs.
- Keep in good standing required license and certification

- Engage in the precepting and training of new hires as mutually agreeable and in accordance with precepting policy
- Follow guidelines for Automated Dispensing Machine prescription storage, distribution and returns under supervision of a pharmacist
Now Knowledge, Skills & Abilities could be under Skills or Requirements. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to decide where to put Knowledge, Skills & Abilities. Could be under Skills. Education & Experience could be under Requirements or Qualifications. Usually Requirements = Education & Experience. Qualifications maybe similar. But we need to avoid thin sections. We could combine Education & Experience and Knowledge, Skills & Abilities into Requirements and Skills respectively.
Thus:
Requirements
- A professionally certified pharmacy technician.
- Chemotherapy admixture experience strongly preferred.
- TN State Pharmacy Technician license active and in good standing or obtained within 90 days of hire if not previously licensed in TN.
Skills
- Ability to read and comprehend instructions.
- Ability to present information at varying levels for patients and the healthcare team.
- Desire to be an active participant in all aspects of medication procurement and delivery.
Physical Requirements: we can put under Requirements? But we already used Requirements for education/experience. Could create a separate section Physical Requirements, but not in the list of allowed headings? The allowed headings include Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Physical Requirements not listed but we could put under Requirements as well. However we need to preserve all substantive info. Could add a Physical Requirements
but that's not in the allowed list; but instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". It implies those are examples; we can use other headings if needed? It says "use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. But we need to include physical requirements somewhere. Could put under Requirements as well, but that may mix education/experience with physical. Could create a Requirements
and include both education/experience and physical requirements as sub-items. That's okay.
Thus Requirements list includes education/experience and physical requirements.
Let's combine:
Requirements:
- A professionally certified pharmacy technician.
- Chemotherapy admixture experience strongly preferred.
- TN State Pharmacy Technician license active and in good standing or obtained within 90 days of hire if not previously licensed in TN.
- Must be willing and able to lift up to 50 pounds.
- Must be able to wear a fitted respirator including N95, half or full-face elastomeric respirator and Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR).
- Must be willing and able to travel to satellite and other Tennessee Oncology clinics when necessary.
- Physical activity requirements: (list from table). We need to incorporate the table.
The table shows which activities are required and frequency. We can translate to bullet points: Standing (Occasionally?), Actually the table: columns: None, Less than 1/3 (Occasionally), 1/3 to 2/3 (Frequently), More than 2/3 (Regularly). Then rows with X under appropriate column.
Rows:
Standing X (under Less than 1/3? Actually the table: after headers, they list Standing X Walking X Sitting X Fingering or manual dexterity X Repetitive finger motion X Lifting or exerting force Up to 10 pounds Up to 25 pounds X Up to 50 pounds X Up to 100 pounds Over 100 pounds Reaching or stretching X Climbing or balancing X Crouching or stooping X Speaking X Hearing X Seeing (with correction) X
We need to map each row to frequency column. The headers: "Job Title Physical Activity Required Amount of time None Less than 1/3 (Occasionally) 1/3 to 2/3 (Frequently) More than 2/3 (Regularly)". Then the rows: "Standing X Walking X Sitting X Fingering or manual dexterity X Repetitive finger motion X Lifting or exerting force Up to 10 pounds Up to 25 pounds X Up to 50 pounds X Up to 100 pounds Over 100 pounds Reaching or stretching X Climbing or balancing X Crouching or stooping X Speaking X Hearing X Seeing (with correction) X"
It seems the X's are placed under the columns after each row? Actually the formatting is ambiguous. Likely each row has an X under the appropriate frequency column. Let's parse:
Row "Standing": X under which column? Probably under "Less than 1/3 (Occasionally)"? Not sure. The pattern: They list many rows, each with an X after the row name, but the X's may correspond to the column that matches the row. However they placed all X's after each row separated by spaces. Actually the line: "Standing X Walking X Sitting X Fingering or manual dexterity X Repetitive finger motion X Lifting or exerting force Up to 10 pounds Up to 25 pounds X Up to 50 pounds X Up to 100 pounds Over 100 pounds Reaching or stretching X Climbing or balancing X Crouching or stooping X Speaking X Hearing X Seeing (with correction) X"
It seems they omitted the column headers and just placed X after each item to indicate the frequency? Actually maybe they meant each item has an X under the column "More than 2/3 (Regularly)"? Not clear.
Given ambiguity, we could simplify: list the physical requirements as given: Must be willing and able to lift up to 50 pounds. Must be able to wear a fitted respirator including N95, half or full-face elastomeric respirator and Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR). Must be willing and able to travel to satellite and other Tennessee Oncology clinics when necessary. Also include the physical activity list: Standing, Walking, Sitting, Fingering or manual dexterity, Repetitive finger motion,
