Emergency Medical Technician - Mercy Carthage - Full Time
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the job description.
Content:
- Overview: "Performs direct patient care including assessment, evaluation, and basic life support according to the goals of Mercy Health System, the philosophy of the Sisters of Mercy, Standard of Care, and Employee Code of Conduct. EMT-I's may also perform clerical, dispatch, and maintenance duties as required. Performs related duties as assigned."
That's about role/responsibilities.
- Position Details: includes Licensure, Experience, Certifications/Registration, Other, Working Conditions..., Equipment Used, Preferred Education, Preferred Licensure, Preferred Experience, Preferred Certification/Registration, Preferred Other.
We need to separate into sections: maybe "Responsibilities" (overview), "Requirements" (licensure, experience, certifications, other), "Qualifications" (preferred education, licensure, experience, certification, other), "Skills" maybe not explicit, but we could include "Working Conditions, Mental and Physical Requirements" as part of Requirements or Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). We can choose appropriate headings based on content.
We have Benefits: "Why Mercy? From day one, Mercy offers outstanding benefits - including medical, dental, and vision coverage, paid time off, tuition support, and matched retirement plans for team members working 32+ hours per pay period."
Thus we have Benefits section.
Pay: Not mentioned. Schedule: Not specific except "May be required to work differing shifts and schedules." That's vague but it's a statement about schedule. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. For Schedule, we have a statement: "May be required to work differing shifts and schedules." That's somewhat specific? It's not a specific schedule but indicates variable shifts. It's still stating schedule requirement. Should we include a Schedule section? The instruction: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It does state something about schedule, albeit vague. I'd include a Schedule section with that statement.
Pay: Not mentioned, so omit.
About the role: Could be an "About the role" section summarizing overview. But we already have Responsibilities. Could combine overview into Responsibilities. The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe we have sections: Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Schedule.
We need to use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc.
We need to extract details:
Responsibilities (duties):
- Performs direct patient care including assessment, evaluation, and basic life support according to the goals of Mercy Health System, the philosophy of the Sisters of Mercy, Standard of Care, and Employee Code of Conduct.

- Certifications/Registration: Hazmat Awareness, BLS for Healthcare Providers, NIMS 100, 200, 700 and 800 within 90 days of hire.
- Other: May be required to work differing shifts and schedules. (But that could go to Schedule)
- Working Conditions, Mental and Physical Requirements: list many items:
- Unimpaired mobility: Must be able to respond quickly to ambulance, must be able to access patients in difficult terrain, must be able to climb stairs, must be able to work in close and dangerous environments such as damaged vehicles, must be able with partner to carry equipment and patients.
- Must be able to perform strenuous physical requirements such as CPR, lifting and moving of equipment and patients in a variety of environmental conditions.

We could treat Equipment Used as part of Requirements or maybe as a separate section "Equipment". But we only have allowed headings list; we could put under Requirements as a list.
Preferred qualifications (Qualifications):
- Preferred Education: High School Diploma or GED.
- Preferred Licensure: (not specified? Actually says "Preferred Licensure" but no detail; maybe blank). The text: "Preferred Licensure Preferred Experience: Preferred Certification/Registration: ITLS or equivalent training. Preferred Other". It seems garbled. Let's parse: After "Preferred Education: High School Diploma or GED." then "Preferred Licensure Preferred Experience: Preferred Certification/Registration: ITLS or equivalent training. Preferred Other". Likely they intended separate lines but got merged. We'll extract what we can:
- Preferred Licensure: (not specified) maybe omitted.
- Preferred Experience: (not specified)
- Preferred Certification/Registration: ITLS or equivalent training.
- Preferred Other: (not specified)
We should not include sections with placeholder or vague like "not specified". So we only include Preferred Education and Preferred Certification/Registration (ITLS or equivalent training). We could also include Preferred Licensure if not specified? Better omit.
Thus Qualifications section: list Preferred Education and Preferred Certification/Registration.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we could infer from responsibilities but better not create thin section.
Benefits: medical, dental, vision coverage, paid time off, tuition support, matched retirement plans for team members working 32+ hours per pay period.
Schedule: "May be required to work differing shifts and schedules."
We need to output HTML fragment only.

Maybe split Requirements into sub-sections? But we can just list all items as - . However some items are long sentences with internal commas; that's fine.
We need to ensure we don't repeat job title.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc.
Let's craft.

We could embed the sub-bullets as separate
- items, but the instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can have nested lists? Probably okay to just have each bullet as
- . For the long block with multiple sentences, we could break into separate
- each requirement. But we must preserve all substantive information; splitting is okay as long as we don't lose info.
Better to keep each distinct requirement as separate
