We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate.
We need to parse the posting.
Content:
First paragraph: description of role: "The DVM Hospitalist – Radiation Oncology is a licensed veterinarian who works closely with the Board-Certified Veterinary Radiation Oncologist to provide comprehensive medical care for patients undergoing evaluation, treatment, and follow-up for radiation therapy. The Hospitalist supports the Radiation Oncologist by performing patient evaluations, coordinating and completing diagnostic work-ups, managing concurrent medical conditions, assessing patients throughout their radiation treatment course, and providing post-treatment and follow-up care. This position is designed to enhance continuity of care, improve patient access and workflow, and allow the Radiation Oncologist to focus on radiation treatment planning and delivery while maintaining close collaboration and oversight of each patient's oncology care."
That's about the role.
Then "Primary Responsibilities" with subheadings: Initial Evaluation and Diagnostic Work-Up, Radiation Oncology Patient Management, Post-Treatment and Follow-Up Care, Client Communication, Clinical Collaboration.
We need to output a list of duties/requirements/benefits using
- . For prose use
. Use
for section headings. We need sections: About the role (maybe "About the role") containing the description paragraph(s). Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe qualifications? The posting includes Qualifications and Preferred Experience. Also Skills maybe? We'll decide. We have Qualifications section: list of qualifications (Doctor of Veterinary Medicine..., license, strong clinical skills, internship training..., experience..., excellent documentation..., ability to work collaboratively, interest in veterinary oncology). Also Preferred Experience: rotating internship, specialty-hospital experience, several years high-quality clinical practice, prior radiation oncology experience desirable but not required. We could combine Qualifications and Preferred Experience into Requirements section, or separate Qualifications and Skills? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include multiple if content exists. We have Benefits: listed: Competitive salary, Generous sign-on bonus, Four-day work week, Comprehensive benefits including health insurance..., paid time off, paid continuing education time-off stipend, 403-b retirement plan with employer contribution, Possibility of housing in an AMC apartment building or assistance to find housing, School loan debt forgiveness opportunity as a non-profit hospital, Non-corporate practice with no percentage pay, Collegial work with colleagues in a non-competitive structure with strong teaching and mentoring opportunities as well as opportunities for research. Pay: "Pay Range: $200,000 USD - $230,000 USD". Also maybe mention competitive salary earlier but we have specific range. Schedule: "Four-day work week" is schedule info. Could be under Benefits but also schedule. Since we have explicit schedule info, we can create Schedule section with that detail. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details. We need to avoid duplication: The description includes some responsibilities already listed; but we must keep all. We can keep the description in About the role, and responsibilities list separate. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:
About the role
... (the description paragraph)
Responsibilities
- Initial Evaluation and Diagnostic Work-Up: Perform comprehensive physical examinations and clinical assessments of patients referred to Radiation Oncology. Review medical records, pathology, diagnostic imaging, laboratory results, and referring veterinarian documentation. Obtain and document complete medical histories. Develop and coordinate appropriate diagnostic work-ups in collaboration with the Radiation Oncologist. Order and interpret laboratory testing and other diagnostic studies within the Hospitalist's clinical responsibilities. Coordinate advanced diagnostic imaging, including CT, MRI, ultrasound, and other studies when indicated. Identify concurrent medical conditions that may affect anesthesia, radiation therapy, or overall patient management. Consult with other specialty services when appropriate.
- Radiation Oncology Patient Management: Work directly with the Board-Certified Radiation Oncologist in the management of patients receiving radiation therapy. Perform examinations and medical assessments before and during courses of radiation treatment. Evaluate patients for treatment-related complications and changes in clinical condition. Provide supportive medical management during radiation therapy. Manage pain, nausea, gastrointestinal signs, skin reactions, appetite changes, and other treatment-associated concerns in collaboration with the Radiation Oncologist. Prescribe and adjust supportive medications as clinically appropriate and consistent with the patient's overall oncology treatment plan. Coordinate care with Anesthesia, Medical Oncology, Surgery, Neurology, Internal Medicine, Diagnostic Imaging, Emergency/Critical Care, and other specialty services. Respond to changes in patient status and determine when additional evaluation, diagnostics, hospitalization, or specialty consultation is required.
- Post-Treatment and Follow-Up Care: Perform post-radiation examinations and scheduled recheck evaluations. Assess acute and delayed radiation-associated effects. Manage supportive and symptomatic care following radiation therapy. Order and evaluate appropriate follow-up laboratory testing and diagnostic studies. Coordinate follow-up imaging and disease surveillance in collaboration with the Radiation Oncologist. Communicate clinical findings and treatment recommendations to clients. Communicate relevant information and follow-up plans to referring veterinarians. Recognize disease progression, recurrence, or complications requiring reassessment by the Radiation Oncologist or another specialty service.
- Client Communication: Provide clear, compassionate communication regarding the patient's clinical condition and supportive care. Discuss diagnostic findings and medical management within the Hospitalist's area of responsibility. Reinforce the Radiation Oncologist's treatment plan and expectations for radiation therapy. Educate clients regarding medications, home monitoring, potential treatment effects, and indications for urgent reassessment. Serve as an accessible veterinary point of contact for patients actively undergoing radiation treatment. Provide continuity for clients throughout the patient's treatment and recovery.
- Clinical Collaboration: The DVM Hospitalist works in close partnership with the Board-Certified Veterinary Radiation Oncologist. The Radiation Oncologist maintains primary responsibility for radiation-specific decisions, including radiation treatment recommendations, treatment planning, dose prescription, fractionation, target definition, and modification of the radiation treatment plan. The Hospitalist independently exercises appropriate veterinary medical judgment in the evaluation and supportive medical management of patients while maintaining close communication with the Radiation Oncologist regarding changes that may affect radiation therapy or the patient's overall oncology treatment plan.
Qualifications
with list. We need to include: Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM or VMD) degree from an accredited institution or equivalent degree meeting applicable licensing requirements. Current or eligible veterinary license in New York State. Strong clinical skills in patient assessment, diagnostic evaluation, and medical case management. Internship training or experience in a specialty or emergency veterinary hospital strongly preferred. Experience in oncology, internal medicine, emergency/critical care, or specialty practice preferred. Excellent medical documentation and client communication skills. Ability to work collaboratively with specialists, residents, interns, licensed veterinary technicians, and other members of a multidisciplinary clinical team. Interest in veterinary oncology and advanced cancer care. Preferred Experience: Candidates with a rotating internship, specialty-hospital experience, or several years of high-quality clinical practice are particularly well suited for this position. Prior radiation oncology experience is desirable but not required; focused training and mentorship can be provided by the Radiation Oncology service. We could combine Qualifications and Preferred Experience into one Qualifications section, or separate into Qualifications and Skills. Since we have Skills heading available, we could put skills like strong clinical skills, excellent documentation, client communication, ability to work collaboratively, interest in oncology under Skills. But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we combine Qualifications and Skills into one Qualifications section. But we have also Requirements heading; we could use Requirements for qualifications and preferred experience. Let's decide: Use Requirements for qualifications and preferred experience. Then maybe Skills not needed. Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include Benefits section with list. Pay section: include the pay range. Schedule section: include four-day work week. Let's ensure we don't duplicate schedule info in Benefits; we can still mention four-day work week under Benefits but also schedule. However we should not duplicate content? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; not to invent or summarize away detail. Duplication is okay if it's in original? But we should avoid unnecessary duplication but not required. However we can keep four-day work week under Benefits and also under Schedule; that duplicates. Might be okay but better to place it only under Schedule and mention other benefits under Benefits without that line. But the Benefits paragraph includes "Four-day work week" as a bullet. If we remove it from Benefits, we lose that info from Benefits section. But we still have it in Schedule section, preserving info. That's fine. Thus Benefits section will list: Competitive salary, Generous sign-on bonus, Comprehensive benefits including health insurance with medical, dental, and vision benefits, very generous paid time off, paid continuing education time-off stipend, 403-b retirement plan with employer contribution, Possibility of housing in an AMC apartment building or assistance to find housing, School loan debt forgiveness opportunity as a non-profit hospital, Non-corporate practice with no percentage pay, Collegial work with colleagues in a non-competitive structure with strong teaching and mentoring opportunities as well as opportunities for research. Pay section: Pay Range: $200,000 USD - $230,000 USD. Schedule section: Four-day work week. Now we need to ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Excellence In Veterinary Medicine Since 1910..." etc. That's extra info about AMC; is that substantive? It's about the employer, could be considered relevant but not required? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. That includes the description of AMC, its facilities, etc. Should we include? It's part of the posting, describing the employer. It's substantive. Should we include a section? There's no specific heading for employer info; we could incorporate into About the role or maybe a separate section like "About the employer". But headings list does not include that. We could add a paragraph under About the role after the role description. That would preserve info. The 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 those for section headings. It doesn't say we cannot add other headings, but better to stick to those. We can incorporate the AMC details into About the role as additional paragraphs. Thus About the role will have multiple paragraphs: first paragraph describing role, second paragraph about AMC excellence, facilities, etc. We must not repeat job title as heading. Already fine. Now ensure we don't include any cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes "Excellence In Veterinary Medicine Since 1910. AMC Offers A Commitment to Lifelong Learning: ..." That's not boilerplate; it's promotional but substantive. We'll keep. Now produce HTML. Let's craft About the role:The DVM Hospitalist – Radiation Oncology is a licensed veterinarian who works closely with the Board-Certified Veterinary Radiation Oncologist to provide comprehensive medical care for patients undergoing evaluation, treatment, and follow-up for radiation therapy.
