Echocardiographer - Per Diem
for section headings (e.g. 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.
Content:
Description paragraph: "Our team members are the heart of what makes us better. At Hackensack Meridian Health we help our patients live better, healthier lives — and we help one another to succeed. With a culture rooted in connection and collaboration, our employees are team members. Here, competitive benefits are just the beginning. It’s also about how we support one another and how we show up for our community. Together, we keep getting better - advancing our mission to transform healthcare and serve as a leader of positive change."
Then: "The Echocardiographer is responsible for performing cardiac ultrasound procedures. They also assist a trained, credentialed cardiology attending during stress echocardiogram and TEE procedures. Additionally, the position is responsible for complete knowledge of cardiac anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology."
Then "Responsibilties" (typo) heading: "A day in the life of an Echocardiographer at Hackensack Meridian Health includes:" then a long list of duties separated by periods. It's basically a list of responsibilities. We need to format as
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can split each sentence into list items.
Then "Qualifications" heading: "Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:" then list items: "Graduate of a certified cardiovascular technology school and/or graduate of an accredited ultrasonography program with a specialty in cardiac sonography.", "Excellent written and verbal communication skills.", "Proficient computer skills that may include but are not limited to Microsoft Office and/or Google Suite platforms."
Then "Education, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Preferred": "One-year clinical echocardiography experience."
Then "Licenses And Certifications Required": list: "Registered Diagnostic Medical Sonographer Certification or Registered Cardiac Sonographer Certification or Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer Certification.", "BLS AHA Basic Health Care Life Support HCP Certification."
Then "Working Conditions": "Lifts a minimum of 50 lbs., pushes and pulls a maximum of 375 lbs. and stands a minimum of 4 hours a day."
Then a paragraph: "If you feel the above description speaks directly to your strengths and capabilities, then please apply today!" This is application instruction; we should remove application instructions. So drop that.
Then: "HMH is committed to pay equity and transparency for our team members. The posted rate of pay in this job posting is a reasonable good faith estimate of the minimum base pay for this role at the time of posting in accordance with the New Jersey Pay Transparency Act and does not reflect the full value of our market-competitive total rewards package."
Then: "Job Duties The starting rate of pay is provided for informational purposes only and is not a guarantee of a specific offer. Posted hourly rates may be stated as an annual salary in the offer and posted annual salaries may be stated as an hourly rate in the offer, depending on the level and nature of the job duties and credentials of the candidate. The base compensation determined at the time of the offer may be different than the posted rate of pay based on a number of non-discriminatory factors, including but not limited to: Labor Market Data: Compensation is benchmarked against market data to ensure competitiveness.Experience: Years of relevant work experience.Education and Certifications: Level of education attained, including specialized certifications, credentials, completed apprenticeship programs or advanced training.Skills: Demonstrated proficiency in relevant skills and competencies.Geographic Location: Cost of living and market rates for the specific location.Internal Equity: Compensation is determined in a manner consistent with compensation ranges for similar roles within the organization.Budget and Grant Funding: Departmental budgets and any grant funding associated with the job position may impact the pay that can be offered. Some jobs may also be eligible for performance-based incentives, bonuses, or commissions not reflected in the starting rate. Certain positions may also be eligible for shift differentials for work performed on evening, night, or weekend shifts. In addition to our compensation for full-time and part-time (20+ hours/week) job positions, HMH offers a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits.Minimum rate of $38.27 Hourly"
We need to extract pay info: "Minimum rate of $38.27 Hourly". Also mention benefits: "comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits."
Thus we have Pay and Benefits sections with real content.
Schedule: Not mentioned. So we should not create Schedule section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe combine description and mission). Responsibilities (list). Qualifications (maybe combine required and preferred? Could separate but we can have Qualifications section with required and preferred as sublists? The instruction: Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). They gave examples but we can choose which sections to include based on content. We have content for About the role (description), Responsibilities, Qualifications (education, knowledge, skills, abilities required, preferred, licenses/certs), Working Conditions maybe could be part of Qualifications or separate? Could be "Requirements"? They gave "Requirements" as example heading. Could use "Requirements" for qualifications and working conditions. But they also have "Qualifications" as example. We need to decide.
We have: Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required; Education, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities Preferred; Licenses And Certifications Required; Working Conditions.
We could combine into a "Qualifications" section with subheadings? But we cannot add extra headings beyond . We could just list all as - items under Qualifications. That would be okay.
Alternatively we could have separate sections: "Qualifications" for education/skills, "Licenses & Certifications" maybe as part of Qualifications. "Working Conditions" could be its own section? Not in the example list but we could still use
for any heading; they gave examples but not exclusive. However they said "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." This suggests we should stick to those headings if possible. But we can also add other headings if needed? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests these are typical. Safer to stick to those.
Thus we need to map content to these headings.
- About the role: description paragraph about team, mission, etc. Also the sentence about Echocardiographer responsibilities? Actually that is more specific to role; could be part of About the role. But we also have Responsibilities section for duties.
Thus About the role: first paragraph (Our team members...) plus maybe the sentence "The Echocardiographer is responsible for performing cardiac ultrasound procedures. They also assist a trained, credentialed cardiology attending during stress echocardiogram and TEE procedures. Additionally, the position is responsible for complete knowledge of cardiac anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology." That describes the role. Could be included.
- Responsibilities: list of duties from "A day in the life..." bullet list.
- Qualifications: includes Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required; Preferred; Licenses And Certifications Required; maybe also Working Conditions? Working Conditions could be under Qualifications or maybe under Requirements. Since they gave "Requirements" as example, we could put Working Conditions under Requirements. But we also have "Qualifications" heading. Let's decide: Use "Qualifications" for education/skills/licenses; Use "Requirements" for working conditions? However they said "Requirements" as example heading; we could use it for working conditions. But we also have "Qualifications" as example. Might be better to have both: Qualifications (education, skills, licenses) and Requirements (working conditions). But we need to avoid thin sections. Working conditions is just one sentence; could be included under Qualifications as a list item. That would keep sections fewer.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay.
Check if we have any content for Skills separate? Not needed.
Now we need to extract all substantive info and not lose any.
Let's list all content pieces:
About the role:
- "Our team members are the heart of what makes us better. At Hackensack Meridian Health we help our patients live better, healthier lives — and we help one another to succeed. With a culture rooted in connection and collaboration, our employees are team members. Here, competitive benefits are just the beginning. It’s also about how we support one another and how we show up for our community. Together, we keep getting better - advancing our mission to transform healthcare and serve as a leader of positive change."
- "The Echocardiographer is responsible for performing cardiac ultrasound procedures. They also assist a trained, credentialed cardiology attending during stress echocardiogram and TEE procedures. Additionally, the position is responsible for complete knowledge of cardiac anatomy, physiology and pathophysiology."
We could combine these into About the role paragraph(s). Keep as
elements.
Responsibilities: list items derived from the long sentence after "A day in the life of an Echocardiographer at Hackensack Meridian Health includes:" Let's split by periods (but some sentences have no period at end?). We'll create list items for each distinct duty.
