for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading. Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Output ONLY the HTML fragment — no /, no markdown code fences.
We need to parse the posting.
Key info:
Location: New York, New York
Shift: Day (United States of America) (but we have shift details later)
Description: Discover Where Amazing Works Creative Arts Therapist (Art Therapist Preferred) – CPEP (Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program) NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center Psychiatry Emergency Department Shift: Days (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, Monday-Friday)
Then paragraphs about role.
About This Role: description.
Key Responsibilities: bullet list.
Required Criteria: bullet list.
Preferred Criteria: bullet list.
Why Join NewYork-Presbyterian?: bullet list (or prose) about benefits.
Salary Range: $40.40-$46.55/Hourly
Also mention: "This is a full-time position for the day shift (8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), Monday through Friday, with coverage on weekends and holidays."
Also mention: "Please note that all roles require on-site presence (variable by role). Therefore, all employees should live within a commutable distance to NYP. NYP will not reimburse for travel expenses."
Also mention: list of awards (Glassdoor etc) - these are boilerplate? They are maybe considered accolades, but they are not essential? Might be considered "Why Join" content? They are like accolades. Could be considered part of "Why Join NewYork-Presbyterian?" but they are generic awards; but they are specific (2026 Best Companies...). Might be considered substantive? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Awards are not boilerplate; they are specific accolades. Could be included under "Why Join NewYork-Presbyterian?" as a list.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role (maybe "About This Role")
- Responsibilities (Key Responsibilities)
- Requirements (Required Criteria)
- Qualifications (maybe Preferred Criteria? Or Qualifications could be required? The instruction list includes Qualifications as a possible heading. We have Required Criteria and Preferred Criteria. Could combine into Requirements and Qualifications? But we need to follow instruction: use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can map:
About the role -> About This Role (or About the role)
Responsibilities -> Key Responsibilities
Requirements -> Required Criteria
Qualifications -> Preferred Criteria (or maybe combine both? But we have both required and preferred; we could have Requirements for required, Qualifications for preferred. That seems appropriate.
Skills: maybe not separate; we could include skills within responsibilities or requirements. But we could create a Skills section if there is explicit skill list. There is "Strong verbal and written communication skills", "Advanced interpersonal skills", etc. Those are skills. Could be placed under Skills.
Benefits: we have "Enjoy comprehensive and competitive benefits that support you and your family in every aspect of life." plus list of awards. Also "Opportunities for professional growth and continued learning." etc. So we can create Benefits section.
Pay: we have Salary Range $40.40-$46.55/Hourly. So we need Pay section.
Schedule: we have shift details: Days (8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, Monday-Friday) plus coverage on weekends and holidays. So we need Schedule section.
We must not create sections with filler/placeholder text. All these have real content.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we won't put "Creative Arts Therapist" as heading.
We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO, equal opportunity, scam warning, cookie/navigation, application instructions. The posting includes "NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is an equal opportunity employer." That's EEO boilerplate; remove. Also "It all begins with you..." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered promotional; but it's part of "Why Join". We'll keep substantive.
Also "Please note that all roles require on-site presence..." is relevant to location/commuting; we could include under About the role or maybe as a note. It's not boilerplate; it's a requirement. We'll keep.
Also list of awards: we can keep under Benefits or Why Join.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from the posting, but we can format them.
We must not duplicate lines.
We need to decide how to structure.

Schedule
Day shift: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM, Monday-Friday, with coverage on weekends and holidays.
We also need to include location and shift info maybe in About the role.
Also mention "This is a full-time position for the day shift (8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), Monday through Friday, with coverage on weekends and holidays." Already covered in schedule.
Also mention "At NewYork-Presbyterian, our Rehabilitation teams play a vital role..." etc.
We need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info: The description includes "Discover Where Amazing Works Creative Arts Therapist (Art Therapist Preferred) – CPEP (Comprehensive Psychiatric Emergency Program) NewYork-Presbyterian / Columbia University Irving Medical Center Psychiatry Emergency Department". That's basically job title and department; we already have job title not repeated as heading, but we can include in About the role prose.
Also "Under the guidance of the Manager, performs all Creative Arts Therapy duties. This is a professional position with no supervisory responsibilities." That's substantive.
Also "Given the nature of the CPEP environment, candidates with a background in Art Therapy and experience utilizing visual arts interventions in psychiatric, crisis, or emergency behavioral health settings are strongly preferred." That's part of Preferred Criteria maybe.
Also "This is a full-time position for the day shift (8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.), Monday through Friday, with coverage on weekends and holidays." Already schedule.
Also "Please note that all roles require on-site presence (variable by role). Therefore, all employees should live within a commutable distance to NYP. NYP will not reimburse for travel expenses." This is a requirement about location; we could include in About the role or Requirements. Probably include in About the role as a note.
Also the list of awards we included under Benefits.
Also "It all begins with you. Our amazing compensation packages start with competitive base pay and include recognition for your experience, education, and licensure. Then we add our amazing benefits, countless opportunities for personal and professional growth and a dynamic environment that embraces every person. Join our team and discover where amazing works." This is promotional; we could include under Benefits or maybe a separate "Why Join" but we already have Benefits. Could incorporate into Benefits prose.
We need to avoid duplication. We'll try to capture all unique substantive points.
