Clinical Pharmacist

The user wants me to reformat a job posting into clean, well-structured semantic HTML. Let me analyze the content and structure it according to the rules. First, I need to identify the sections: 1. Summary/EDRP information 2. Qualifications (with Basic Requirements, Grade Determinations) 3. Duties 4. Work Schedule/Telework/Virtual info 5. Other details (Functional Statement, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, EDRP Authorized, PCS) The rules say: - Use

for section headings (About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule) - Use

• for lists - Use

  for prose - Do NOT repeat job title as heading - Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings - Fold minor metadata into short

  or drop it - Preserve ALL substantive information - Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/scam-warning) - Include section ONLY when posting has real, specific content - Never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text - Never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them - Output ONLY HTML fragment Let me structure this: The posting has: - EDRP eligibility info (summary) - Qualifications section with Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations - Duties section - Work Schedule, Telework, Virtual info - Functional Statement, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, EDRP Authorized, PCS I should create sections for: 1. Qualifications (since it has detailed requirements) 2. Responsibilities (duties) 3. Schedule (work schedule, telework, virtual) 4. Maybe a summary/about section for the EDRP info 5. Additional details for the other metadata But the rules say: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." And "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". Let me map to the suggested headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The posting doesn't have explicit "About the role" but has EDRP summary. It has Qualifications (with Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations). It has Duties (Responsibilities). It has Schedule info. It doesn't have Pay, Benefits, Skills explicitly. I'll create: -

  Qualifications

  for the qualifications section -

  Responsibilities

  for duties -

  Schedule

  for work schedule, telework, virtual - Maybe

  Additional Information

  for the other metadata (Functional Statement, Relocation, EDRP Authorized, PCS) but the rules say use specific headings like Benefits, Pay, Schedule. "Additional Information" isn't listed but might be okay? The rules say "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)". The "e.g." suggests these are examples, not exhaustive. But I should stick to those if possible. The EDRP info could go under "Qualifications" or a separate "Benefits" section? EDRP is a student loan payment reimbursement program - that's a benefit. But the rules say "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them". The posting does state EDRP authorized. So I could create a Benefits section for EDRP. But the EDRP info is at the top as "Summary MAY be eligible for EDRP...". That's a benefit. However, the posting also says "EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive" at the bottom. I think I'll structure as: 1. Qualifications (with Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations) 2. Responsibilities (duties) 3. Schedule (work schedule, telework, virtual) 4. Benefits (EDRP info) 5. Additional Details (Functional Statement, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, PCS) - but maybe fold into a paragraph. The rules: "fold minor metadata into a short

  or drop it". Functional Statement #, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, PCS are minor metadata. I can put them in a paragraph at the end or under a generic heading. But the rules say "Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences." Let me write the HTML. I'll start with Qualifications heading, then Responsibilities, then Schedule, then Benefits (for EDRP), then maybe a paragraph for the rest. But the EDRP info is detailed: eligibility, award amount, eligibility period, former participants ineligible, contact email. That's substantive. The Qualifications section is very detailed with Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations (GS-11 and GS-12). I'll use subheadings? The rules say use

  for section headings. Could use

  for subsections? Not specified. But to keep semantic, maybe use

  for sub-sections within Qualifications. However, the rules only mention

  for section headings. I'll use

  for main sections and maybe

  for sub-sections if needed. But the example only shows

  . I'll use

  for main sections and within Qualifications, use

  for Basic Requirements and Grade Determinations? Or just use

  and

  with strong labels. Better to keep it simple: Use

  Qualifications

  then within, use

  Basic Requirements

  and

  Grade Determinations

  but the rules didn't forbid

  . However, they said "use

  for section headings". Might be okay to use

  for subsections. I'll do that. Similarly for Grade Determinations, there are GS-11 and GS-12. Could use but maybe just use in list items. Let me draft. First, Qualifications section:

  Qualifications

  Basic Requirements

  • United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy
  • English Language Proficiency: Pharmacists must be proficient in spoken and written English as required by 38 U.S.C. 7402(d) and 7407(d)
  • Education: Graduate of an Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE) accredited College or School of Pharmacy with a baccalaureate degree in pharmacy (BS Pharmacy) and/or a Doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm.D.) degree. Verification of approved degree programs may be obtained from the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education - 20 North Clark Street - Suite 2500 - Chicago - Illinois 60602-5109, phone: (312) 664-3575, or through their Web site at: http://www.acpe-accredit.org/ (NOTE: Prior to 2005 ACPE accredited both baccalaureate and Doctor of Pharmacy terminal degree program. Today the sole degree is Doctor of Pharmacy.) Graduates of foreign pharmacy degree programs meet the educational requirement if the graduate is able to provide proof of achieving the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Examination Commission (FPGEC) Certification - which includes passing the Foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination (FPGEE) and the Test of English as a Foreign Language Internet-Based Test (TOEFL iBT)
  • Licensure: Full, current and unrestricted license to practice pharmacy in a State, Territory, Commonwealth of the United States (i.e., Puerto Rico), or the District of Columbia. The pharmacist must maintain current registration if this is a requirement for maintaining full, current, and unrestricted licensure. A pharmacist who has, or has ever had, any license(s) revoked, suspended, denied, restricted, limited, or issued/placed in a probationary status may be appointed only in accordance with the provisions in VA Handbook 5005, Part II, Chapter 3, section B, paragraph 16. NOTE: Individuals who have or have had multiple licenses and had any such license revoked for professional misconduct, professional incompetence or substandard care, or who surrendered such license after receiving written notice of potential termination of such license by the State for professional misconduct, professional incompetence, or substandard care, are not eligible for appointment to the position unless such revoked or surrendered license is fully restored (38 U.S.C.7402(f)). Effective November 30, 1999, this is a requirement for employment. This requirement does not apply to licensed pharmacists on VA rolls as of that date, provided they maintain continuous appointment and are not disqualified for employment by any subsequent revocations or voluntary surrenders of State license, registration or certification. Exception: Non-licensed pharmacists who otherwise meet the eligibility requirements may be given a temporary appointment at the entry level as a Graduate Pharmacist under the authority of 38 U.S.C.7405(c)(2)(B). The appointing official may waive the requirement of licensure for a period not to exceed 2 years for a pharmacist that provides care under the supervision of a licensed pharmacist. For grade levels above the GS-11, the candidate must be licensed. May qualify based on being covered by the Grandfathering Provision as described in the VA Qualification Standard for this occupation (only applicable to current VHA employees who are in this occupation and meet the criteria)
