Histotechnologist 1 (FT- 0.9 FTE, Day Shift)

Bozeman Health · Bozeman, MT · 1 mo ago
Full-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes description: "Performs histology procedures...". That's about the role. Then Responsibilities: essential job functions list. Then Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. Then Schedule Requirements. Physical Requirements maybe not required as a section unless we have content; but we only include sections when posting has real specific content. It does have Physical Requirements details. Should we include a section? The allowed headings list includes Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Not Physical Requirements. So we cannot create a custom heading; only allowed headings are those listed. So we must map content to those headings. If content doesn't fit, we may omit. The instructions: "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." So we can use those headings. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content for it. So we need to decide which sections apply. We have: - About the role: description of job (first paragraph). Good. - Responsibilities: essential job functions list. - Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications? Could be "Required Minimum Qualifications". That fits Requirements. - Qualifications: maybe Preferred? Could be "Preferred One (1) year of histology experience." That's qualifications. - Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities. - Benefits: not present. - Pay: not present. - Schedule: Schedule Requirements present. Thus we output sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Responsibilities list, Requirements list (maybe bullet list of qualifications), Qualifications list (maybe bullet), Skills list (maybe bullet), Schedule maybe not a list but prose. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate etc. We need to include all details from the posting, but we can reorganize into sections. Let's extract content. First paragraph: "Performs histology procedures used in the preparation and processing of tissue specimens for diagnostic evaluation. Processes, embeds, sections, stains, and prepares tissue specimens while maintaining quality control, equipment performance, and laboratory documentation. Collaborates with pathologists and laboratory staff to support accurate and timely diagnostic services. Adheres to regulatory, accreditation, safety, and quality standards." That's About the role. Responsibilities: Essential Job Functions list (the bullet points after "Essential Job Functions In addition to the essential functions of the job listed below, employees must maintain timely completion of all required education, trainings, and certifications as assigned and in accordance with Bozeman Health policies, department-specific requirements, applicable certification program and registry requirements, and other applicable regulatory requirements." Then list: - Performs routine and moderately complex histology procedures including tissue processing, embedding, microtomy, staining, and slide preparation for pathologist interpretation. - Performs routine immunohistochemical and special staining procedures according to established laboratory protocols. - Evaluates specimen quality and identifies issues requiring corrective action or escalation. - Performs quality control procedures and documents results according to laboratory requirements. - Maintains instrumentation and performs routine troubleshooting and maintenance activities. - Participates in laboratory quality assurance and regulatory compliance activities. - Assists with onboarding, training, and competency support of new staff, students, and trainees. - Ensures accurate documentation, specimen tracking, and charge capture processes. - Maintains laboratory supplies, reagents, and work areas in accordance with established standards. - Collaborates with pathologists and laboratory staff to support quality patient care and efficient workflow. - Other related duties and responsibilities as assigned. Also earlier: "Performs histology procedures used in the preparation and processing of tissue specimens for diagnostic evaluation. Processes, embeds, sections, stains, and prepares tissue specimens while maintaining quality control, equipment performance, and laboratory documentation. Collaborates with pathologists and laboratory staff to support accurate and timely diagnostic services. Adheres to regulatory, accreditation, safety, and quality standards." That could be part of responsibilities but we already used for About the role. It's okay. Requirements: Required Minimum Qualifications: - Bachelor's degree including coursework meeting American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) Histotechnologist certification requirements. - HTL (ASCP) certification. - Completion of a National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Laboratory Sciences (NAACLS) accredited Histotechnology program or equivalent education and training. Also maybe "Preferred One (1) year of histology experience." That's Qualifications. We could treat Requirements as the mandatory qualifications, and Qualifications as preferred. Skills: Knowledge, Skills and Abilities list: - Demonstrate sound judgment, patience, and maintain a professional demeanor at all times. - Exercise tact, discretion, sensitivity, and maintains confidentiality. - Perform essential job functions successfully in a fast-paced environment. - Learn current and new computer applications and office equipment utilized at Bozeman Health. - Strong interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills. - Analyze, organize, and prioritize work while meeting multiple deadlines. - Demonstrate the Bozeman Health SPIRIT values of: Service, People, Integrity, Respect, Improvement, and Teamwork. Schedule Requirements: "This role requires regular and sustained attendance. The position may necessitate working beyond a standard 40-hour workweek, including weekends and after-hours shifts. On-call work may be required to respond promptly to organizational, patient, or employee needs." Physical Requirements: we cannot create a section for it because not in allowed headings. Should we drop it? The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Also "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". Since Physical Requirements is not an allowed heading, we cannot create a custom heading. We could possibly incorporate physical requirements under Schedule? No, that's not appropriate. Could we put them under Responsibilities? Not really. Better to omit them? But we must preserve ALL substantive information. However we cannot invent headings; we could maybe include them as a

    under Schedule or Skills? But that would misrepresent. The instruction says we must preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include physical requirements somewhere. Since we cannot create a custom heading, we could add them as a

    under an existing section like "Schedule" maybe not ideal but it's still preserving info. However the instruction says "Use

    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 have other headings, but likely they expect only those. Safer to add a section for Physical Requirements? Not in list; might be considered invalid. But we could treat it as "Requirements" maybe? But Requirements already used for qualifications. Could we split Requirements into two subsections? Not allowed. Maybe we can include Physical Requirements as a

    under Responsibilities? Not accurate. Better to create a section "Physical Requirements" despite not being in the example list? The instruction says "Use

    for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." The "e.g." suggests those are examples, not exhaustive. So we can use other headings as long as they are

    . So we can add Physical Requirements heading. That seems okay. Thus we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule, Physical Requirements. We must not include Benefits, Pay if not present. Now we need to format lists. For About the role: prose

    . Responsibilities:

    • each duty. Requirements:
      • each mandatory qualification. Qualifications:
        • preferred experience. Skills:
          • each skill/ability. Schedule:

            with schedule text. Physical Requirements: we need to include the detailed physical requirements text. Could be a

            containing the whole block. Or we could break into

            • for each bullet? The physical requirements section includes a list of items with frequencies. Could be a
              • . Let's do that. We need to preserve all details, including the frequency key explanation. We'll include that as part of the physical requirements section maybe as a

                after the list. Let's extract physical requirements text: "Physical Requirements Lifting (Rarely – 30 pounds): Exerting force and/or using a negligible amount of force to lift, carry, push, pull, or otherwise move objects or people. Sit (Continuously): Maintaining a sitting posture for extended periods may include adjusting body position to prevent discomfort or strain. Stand (Occasionally): Maintaining a standing posture for extended periods may include adjusting body position to prevent discomfort or strain. Walk (Occasionally): Walking and moving around within the work area requires good balance and coordination. Climb (Rarely): Ascending or descending ladders, stairs, scaffolding, ramps, poles, and the like using feet and legs; may also use hands and arms. Twist/Bend/Stoop/Kneel (Occasionally): Twisting, bending, stooping, and kneeling require flexibility and a wide range of motion in the spine and joints. Reach Above Shoulder Level (Occasionally): Lifting, carrying, pushing, or pulling objects as necessary above the shoulder, requiring strength and stability. Push/Pull (Occasionally): Using the upper extremities to press or exert force against something with steady force to thrust forward, downward, or outward. Fine-Finger Movements (Continuously): Picking, pinching, typing, or otherwise working primarily with fingers rather than using the whole hand as in handling. Vision (Continuously): Close visual acuity to prepare and analyze data and figures and to read computer screens, printed materials, and handwritten materials. Cognitive Skills (Continuously): Learn new tasks, remember processes, maintain focus, complete tasks independently, and make timely decisions in the context of a workflow. Exposures (Rarely): Bloodborne pathogens, such as blood, bodily fluids, or tissues. Radiation in settings where medical imaging procedures are performed. Various chemicals and medications are used in healthcare settings. Job tasks may involve handling cleaning products, disinfectants, and other substances. Infectious diseases due to contact with patients in areas that may have contagious illnesses. Frequency Key: Continuously (100% - 67% of the time), Repeatedly (66% - 33% of the time), Occasionally (32% - 4% of the time), Rarely (3% - 1% of the time), Never (0%)." We'll put that as a

                • for each bullet? The format is like "Lifting (Rarely – 30 pounds): Exerting force...". Could be each as a list item. We'll also include the Frequency Key as a

                  after the list. Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work..." That's boilerplate; we should remove it. Also remove "The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to the job classification. They are not to be construed as a contract of any type nor an exhaustive list of all job duties performed by individuals so classified." That's boilerplate; remove. Also remove "In addition to the essential functions of the job listed below, employees must maintain timely completion of all required education, trainings, and certifications as assigned and in accordance with Bozeman Health policies, department-specific requirements, applicable certification program and registry requirements, and other applicable regulatory requirements." That's part of essential functions but it's not a duty; it's a requirement about maintaining certifications. Could be included under Responsibilities? Might be considered a responsibility. We'll keep it as a bullet under Responsibilities maybe. But the instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." So we need to
