We need to output HTML fragment with headings
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. No job title heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate (EEO, legal, application instructions, etc). Must preserve all substantive info.
We need to parse the job posting.
Let's extract sections:
- Intro: "Exceptional care starts with exceptional people... Ochsner empowers you to discover your passion, reach your potential, and Pursue Your Purpose." This is about the role/company. Could be "About the role" or maybe "About Ochsner". We'll put under About the role

- "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily." That's generic.
- "The requirements listed below are representative of the knowledge, skill, and/or ability required. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable qualified individuals with disabilities to perform the essential duties." That's requirements.
- "This job description is a summary of the primary duties and responsibilities of the job and position. It is not intended to be a comprehensive or all-inclusive listing of duties and responsibilities. Contents are subject to change at the company's discretion." That's generic but maybe part of responsibilities.

- Physical and Environmental Demands: Medium Work - Exerting 20 to 50 pounds of force occasionally, and/or 10 to 25 pounds of force frequently, and/or greater than negligible up to 10 pounds of force constantly to move objects. (Constantly: activity or condition exists 2/3 or more of the time) to move objects. Physical demand requirements are in excess of those for Sedentary Work. Even though the weight lifted may be only a negligible amount, a job should be rated Light Work: (1) when it requires walking or standing to a significant degree; or (2) when it requires sitting most of the time but entails pushing and/or pulling of arm or leg controls; and/or (3) when the job requires working at a production rate pace entailing the constant pushing and/or pulling of materials even though the weight of those materials is negligible.

The risk level of exposure may increase depending on the essential job duties of the role.
- Then there is a link to view Ochsner Rush’s delineated job descriptions based on daily duties. That's application instruction? It's a link to request permission. Probably considered application instruction/boilerplate, should be removed.
- "Are you ready to make a difference? Apply Today!" etc. That's application instruction, remove.
- Ochsner Health does not consider an individual an applicant until they have formally applied... etc. Remove.
- Individuals who reside in and will work from the following areas are not eligible for remote work position: list of states. That's maybe about remote eligibility; could be considered part of job details (Schedule/Location). Might be considered substantive? It's about remote work eligibility. Could be placed under Schedule? Not exactly schedule. Might be considered "Work Location" but we don't have that heading. Could be omitted as it's not about benefits/pay/schedule. It's location restriction. Might be considered part of "Schedule"? Not really. The instruction says include section only when posting has real specific content for it. We have no explicit schedule info besides flexibility in work duties and hours (may require flexible schedule such as nights, evenings, weekends, holidays, extended shifts, etc.). That's schedule info. So we can include a Schedule section with that detail.
- Benefits: Not mentioned. So omit Benefits.
- Pay: Not mentioned. Omit Pay.
- Qualifications: Could combine Education, Experience, Certifications. Could be under Requirements or Qualifications. The instruction says use headings like Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. We have Education Required, Work Experience Required, Certifications Required, Preferred. That's qualifications. Also KSAs are skills. Responsibilities are job duties.
Thus sections:
- About the role (intro)
- Responsibilities (job duties list)
- Requirements (education, experience, certifications)
- Skills (KSAs)
- Schedule (flexibility in work duties and hours)
We could also include Qualifications separate but we can merge into Requirements. The instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Schedule.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive info. Ensure we don't lose any details.
Let's craft paragraphs.
About the role: combine the introductory sentences: "Exceptional care starts with exceptional people. For us, this is more than a job– it’s a calling. It’s waking up each day, looking for ways to make a difference with a compassionate, inclusive and talented team. Ochsner empowers you to discover your potential, reach your potential, and Pursue Your Purpose. Exceptional care starts with exceptional people and teams. Together we are leading the way." Might be repetitive but keep.
Responsibilities: list duties from "Job Duties" plus the earlier statement about assessing patients and performing CT procedures, being clinical mentor. Also includes ensuring compliance, etc. We'll combine.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for responsibilities we should use a list. For requirements (education, experience, certifications) also list. For skills list. For schedule maybe a paragraph.
Let's extract responsibilities list:
- Assessing patients and safely performing routine CT procedures in accordance with prescribed radiation safety procedures and protocols.
- Acting as a clinical mentor for junior staff and students.
- Verifies physician order and procedure to assure accuracy.
- Utilizes radiology information systems to facilitate care.

- Maintains and complies with its Compliance & Privacy Program and Standards of Conduct, including the immediate reporting of any known or suspected unethical or questionable behaviors or conduct; patient/employee safety, patient privacy, and/or other compliance-related concerns.
We could also include "To perform this job successfully, an individual must be able to perform each essential duty satisfactorily." but that's generic.
