Emergency Medicine Chief
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We must not output markdown fences.
Let's structure:
About the role
... mission summary and invitation ...
Responsibilities
Maybe we can put duties under Responsibilities. The posting has "Scope of Duties" and bullet list. Could be Responsibilities.
Requirements
Maybe combine basic requirements and physical requirements? Or separate Qualifications and Requirements? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to decide what goes where.
Qualifications: likely includes basic requirements, board certification, experience, citizenship, license, residency training, English proficiency.
Requirements: maybe physical requirements? Or maybe "Requirements" is for mandatory qualifications? But we have both Qualifications and Requirements headings available. We could put basic requirements under Qualifications, and physical requirements under Requirements. Or we could put all under Qualifications and leave Requirements empty (but we must not emit empty sections). So we need content for Requirements.
Let's assign:
- Qualifications: basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency training, board certification, experience, English proficiency).
- Requirements: physical requirements list.
- Responsibilities: duties/scope of duties.
- About the role: mission summary and invitation.
- Benefits: benefits package details.
- Pay: pay details.
- Schedule: work schedule.
- Skills: maybe not present; we could omit if no specific skills listed. The posting does not list specific skills beyond qualifications. So we omit Skills section.
Now we need to extract precise content.
About the role: The summary includes mission statement and invitation. Let's capture:
"OUR MISSION: To fulfill President Lincoln's promise "To care for those who have served in our nation's military and for their families - caregivers - and survivors" - by serving and honoring the men and women who are America's Veterans. How would you like to become a part of a team providing compassionate whole health care to Veterans?"
We can put that as a paragraph.
Responsibilities: The "Scope of Duties" paragraph and bullet list.
Let's extract:
"The Chief of the Emergency Medicine Department at the Harry STruman Memorial Veterans' Hospital reports directly to the Deputy Chief of Staff and is responsible for the clinical and administrative functions of the Emergency DepartmentThe incumbent is responsible for participation and oversight of staff physicians/providers (to include Physician Assistants) regarding patient care performance measures - compliance - training - and performance improvement - recruitment and retention of highly qualified and experienced providers - participation in various Medical Center committees to ensure performance measures are met - and compliance with applicable rules and regulationsThe incumbent will also serve as a staff Emergency Department physicianThe incumbent will be responsible for all aspects of medical care delivered to patients in the Emergency DepartmentIt is expected that the incumbent will spend 75% of his/her time in a clinical role and 25% in an administrative roleDuties may include but not limited to the following"
Then bullet list:
- Representing the Emergency Department at all applicable hospital administrative and patient care meetings
- Meeting with all providers in the Emergency Department regularly to review protocols - procedures - expectations for transported/transferred patients - including minor trauma victims
- Monitoring established VA/VISN/Joint Commission - etc - performance measures and identified goals for the Emergency Department (e.gphysician report card) - and provide providers with group and individual feedback on how to improve and/or sustain achieved success in such metrics/measures
- Work with the VA Utilization Management (UM)/Quality Improvement (QI) department staff to monitor the preadmission screening process and its success in impacting InterQual appropriate inpatient admission/observation status utilization performance measures.
We need to format as - .
Requirements (physical): list of tasks: lifting of up to 10 lbs. - sitting (4 hours) - standing (2 hours) - walking (2 hours) - bending/stooping (1 hour) - twisting (1/2 hour) - simple grasping (4 hours) - fine manipulation (6 hours) - reaching above the shoulder (1/2 hour) - and operating machinery (1/2 hour).
We can put as
- each item.
Qualifications: need to include all basic requirements and additional requirement.
Let's extract basic requirements bullet style:
- United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy
- Degree of doctor of medicine or an equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine
- The degree must have been obtained from one of the schools approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed
- Current - full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State - Territory - or Commonwealth of the United States - or in the District of Columbia
- Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training - approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification
(NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are:
(1) Those approved by the accrediting bodies for graduate medical education - the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA) - in the list published for the year the residency - or fellowship if applicable - was completed
OR (2) One year of post medical school training (internship - first year of residency - or transitional year residency) approved by ACGME or AOA followed by two years of post-training independent practice (performing under a full and unrestricted license) in the United States
OR (3) Non-US residency training programs followed by a minimum of three years of verified independent practice in the United States (performing under a full and unrestricted license) performing duties related to the position they are applying for (United States fellowships would be creditable towards this requirement) - which the local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems to have provided the applicant with appropriate professional training and believes has exposed the Physician to an appropriate range of patient care experiences
Exceptions: Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet the basic requirements for appointment are eligible to be appointed as ""Physician Resident Providers"" (PRPs)
PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (i.e. - not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent basis
PRPs are not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged
rather - they are to have a ""scope of practice"" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision
Additionally - surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs
In rare and unusual circumstances - the Facility Director can submit a memo to the VISN Director through the VISN Chief Medical Officer - who may approve requests for reasonable exceptions to the residency training requirement for Physicians whose composite record of experience - accomplishments - performance - and qualifications warrant such action
- Proficiency in spoken and written English
- Additional Requirement: Board certification in Emergency Medicine is required
- Must have at least 3 years of clinical experience working as an Emergency Medicine physician
- Physician positions may require board certification if ANY of the following three conditions exist: 1) the position supervises medical students - physician residents - or physician fellows 2) the position will have faculty status with an affiliated medical school - such as a joint recruitment with affiliated medical schools or 3) the position being filled is required to be board certified by virtue of specific VHA policy (for example - as director of a cardiac catheterization laboratory or Director of Clinical Laboratory Medicine)
- If board certification is required use ""0602 Physician Board Certified VHASTD"" assessment template
- Reference: For more information on this qualification standard - please visit https://www.va.gov/ohrm/QualificationStandards/
We need to keep all substantive info. That's a lot. We'll format as
- for each bullet. However some items have sub-bullets and notes. We can keep as paragraphs inside li? Probably just keep as text.
We'll need to decide grouping: maybe each major bullet as
- with internal
or just text.
Simplify: produce
- for each top-level requirement, and inside we can have
for subpoints.
But instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we can nest
inside li.
Ok.
Benefits: need to capture:
"VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package
VHA Physician Total Rewards
Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized
Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): Learn more
EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive
Contact visn15edrp@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance
Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases
Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year (26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year and possible 5 day paid absence for CME)

CME: Possible $1 -000 per year reimbursement (must be full-time with board certification)

We need to separate Pay and Schedule sections as per instruction. So Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases" goes under Pay section.
Schedule: "Variable schedule 40 hours/week" goes under Schedule.
Benefits section should include the rest: VA offers comprehensive total rewards package, VHA Physician Total Rewards, Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Not Authorized, Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): Learn more, EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible
