We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes a Summary paragraph. We'll treat that as About the role? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Summary (maybe About the role). We have Qualifications (Basic Requirements, GS-13 Grade Determinations, Preferred Experience). We have Duties (Program Management, Clinical Practice, Clinical Education and Scholarly Activities, Customer Service and Teamwork). We have Work Schedule (Monday - Friday 8:00am to 4:30PM). Telework: Not Available, Virtual: not a virtual position. Also maybe Pay? Not mentioned. Benefits? Not mentioned. So we should not create Benefits or Pay sections. We need to preserve all substantive info, not invent. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Not present. Also remove duplicated lines. Also remove application instructions (none). Also remove reference link? Might be considered metadata; but it's part of qualifications. Probably keep as part of qualifications? It's a reference link; maybe keep as part of qualifications but it's not essential. The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The link is substantive? It's a reference for more info; could be considered metadata but still part of posting. I'd keep it as a

within Qualifications maybe. We need to format lists with

  • . For duties and responsibilities we have bullet-like sentences separated by line breaks. We'll convert each bullet to
  • . For qualifications we have many items; we can list them. We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for job title. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's structure:

    About the role

    Summary text...

    Responsibilities

    Maybe we can put Duties under Responsibilities. The posting has Duties section with subcategories. We'll treat as Responsibilities.

    Qualifications

    Basic Requirements: ...

    Then maybe
      for GS-13 Grade Determinations (Specialized Experience) and KSAs, Preferred Experience. But we need to follow instruction: Use
      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for each list we need
          . For prose we use

          . Thus we need to identify lists. Let's extract content. Summary paragraph: "The Formulary Management Specialist at the Tomah VA Medical Center (VAMC) functions in the Operations section of the Pharmacy service line and will use their knowledge of current developments in field of pharmacy to develop - implement - and coordinate clinical pharmacy and medication safety initiatives to ensure safe appropriate medication use processes for patients while providing clinical - organizational - educational - and administrative services for the pharmacy department." We'll put that in

          . Qualifications: Basic Requirements: list items separated by line breaks. We could treat Basic Requirements as a list: United States Citizenship..., English Language Proficiency..., Education..., Licensure..., May qualify based on being covered by the Grandfathering Provision... We'll make

          • for each. Then "In addition to meeting the Basic Requirements above - the candidate must demonstrate the following below:" then GS-13 Grade Determinations: Clinical Pharmacy Specialist (Formulary Management Specialist) Specialized Experience: ... then a paragraph describing specialized experience. Then "AND - Demonstrated Knowledge - Skills and Abilities (KSAs): In addition to the specialized experience described above - you must be able to demonstrate all the following KSAs:" then numbered list 1-5. Then "Clinical Pharmacy Specialist: The clinical pharmacy specialist (CPS) plays a defined role..." paragraph. Then "Preferred Experience: 1Experience with Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committees..." list. We'll need to parse. Duties: Program Management: bullet list (each line starts with a verb). We'll make
            • . Clinical Practice: bullet list. Clinical Education and Scholarly Activities: bullet list. Customer Service and Teamwork: bullet list. Work Schedule: we have "Work Schedule: Monday - Friday 8:00am to 4:30PM Telework: Not Available Virtual: This is not a virtual position". This is not a list but we can put in

              . Also there are Functional Statement #, Relocation/Recruitment Incentives, Permanent Change of Station. Those are metadata; maybe we can drop as per instruction: do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

              or drop it. So we could include a short

              for Functional Statement # etc. But they said "fold minor metadata into a short

              or drop it." So we could include a

              with that info. However they also said "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." This is not boilerplate; it's metadata. I'd include a short

              at end. But we need to avoid creating sections like Benefits, Pay, Schedule unless posting actually states them. We have Work Schedule stated, so we can create a Schedule section. The instruction: Use

              for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have Schedule section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Schedule. We could also have Skills? Not needed. We need to ensure we don't create empty sections. Let's craft HTML. We'll need to escape any special characters? Not needed. Let's write. First, About the role:

              About the role

              The Formulary Management Specialist at the Tomah VA Medical Center (VAMC) functions in the Operations section of the Pharmacy service line and will use their knowledge of current developments in field of pharmacy to develop - implement - and coordinate clinical pharmacy and medication safety initiatives to ensure safe appropriate medication use processes for patients while providing clinical - organizational - educational - and administrative services for the pharmacy department.

              Responsibilities: combine Duties subsections. We'll make a

              Responsibilities

              then maybe subheadings? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. We could just list all duties under one
                . But we might lose categorization. However we can keep categories as plain text before each list? Could use

                for category headings then

                  . That's acceptable: category headings not as h3. Thus:
