We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The description includes: Lead Advanced Practice Provider Physician Associate or Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. We need sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content.
We need to parse content.
First, we need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes: "Hiring Scam Alert", "Notice Regarding Maine Employer Surveillance Statute". Those are legal boilerplate; we must remove them. Also "To apply for or learn more about this position, please send your CV or inquiry to ..." is application instructions; remove. Also "MaineHealth is a not-for-profit..." is maybe about organization; could be considered boilerplate? It's not specifically about the job; but it's descriptive of employer. Might be considered not needed? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we can keep some general description about MaineHealth? It's not explicitly prohibited, but it's not job-specific. Might be considered boilerplate? It's about the organization; but not EEO etc. It's okay to keep? The instruction says remove legal/EEO etc. This is not legal. It's describing the organization; could be considered part of "About the role" maybe. But we can keep it if it's substantive. However we need to avoid duplication.

The pay range for this position is $132,375.60 to $171,310 annually based on the candidate’s level of experience.
In addition to base pay, MaineHealth offers comprehensive benefits, recognition programs and career growth opportunities.
(Then description of MaineHealth system, Portland area, etc.) Might be considered benefits? The benefits section: "comprehensive benefits, recognition programs and career growth opportunities." Also mention recruitment payments, relocation assistance, shift differentials, productivity-based incentives, quality incentives and other premiums. So we can include Benefits section with those items.
- Pay: we have pay range.
- Schedule: we have schedule description.
- About the role: we can have a brief paragraph summarizing role.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So we will not have a heading for "Lead Advanced Practice Provider Physician Associate or Acute Care Nurse Practitioner". We'll use headings for sections.
We need to decide which sections to include: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule.
We have content for:
- About the role: yes (description of role).
- Responsibilities: we have Lead APP Responsibilities list.
- Requirements: we have Minimum Qualifications (education, license, experience). Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe similar to Requirements; but we can separate: Requirements (education, license, experience) and Qualifications (knowledge, skills, abilities). However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we might combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section? But we have separate headings allowed. We need to decide based on content.
We have:
Minimum Qualifications (education, license/certifications, experience). Then a bunch of knowledge/skills/abilities (knowledge of medical model, familiarity with anatomy, etc., ability to make decisions, etc.). Those could be considered Qualifications/Skills.
We could have:
- Requirements: Education, License/Certifications, Experience.
- Qualifications: Knowledge, abilities (medical model, anatomy, etc.)
- Skills: communication, interpersonal, computer skills, confidentiality.
But that may be many thin sections. Perhaps better to have:
- Requirements (education, license, experience)
- Qualifications & Skills (combined knowledge, abilities, skills)
But we need to follow instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we should aim for maybe 4-5 sections.
We have:
About the role
Responsibilities
Requirements (education, license, experience)
Qualifications (knowledge, abilities, skills)
Benefits
Pay
Schedule
That's 7 sections; some may be thin but each has substantive content.
We need to ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to remove duplicated lines: there is duplicate knowledge of patient assessment techniques appears both in Minimum Qualifications and Lead APP Responsibilities. We should keep only once? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Duplicated lines: we should not repeat same sentence multiple times. So we need to deduplicate.
Let's list unique bullet points.
First, gather role description paragraph:
"Lead Advanced Practice Provider Physician Associate or Acute Care Nurse Practitioner MaineHealth Orthopedic Sports Surgery South Portland, ME Req # 91351 MaineHealth Orthopedic Sports Surgery, South Portland, is recruiting a Physician Associate/Assistant (PA) or Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (ACNP) to join our fast paced Orthopedic Sports Medicine & Surgery team and to serve as the APP team lead. Under physician supervision, the successful candidate will provide medical care through office-based evaluation and treatment of outpatients as well as orthopedic surgical support. In the outpatient practice setting, this position will support our Orthopedic Surgeon and work cohesively amongst the existing surgical team. As a Lead APP, this position is responsible for creating and sustaining an environment that promotes accountability, teamwork and high-quality care delivery and acting as a role model for staff to foster our values and vision. Orthopedic experience, joint replacement and surgical experience in Orthopedics preferred."
We can use that for About the role.
Now Responsibilities (Lead APP Responsibilities):
- Provides training and orientation for new employees in the department.
- Coordinates appropriate staffing levels and review and approve timecards for assigned staff.
- Knowledge of patient assessment techniques including taking medical histories, performing physicals, evaluating health status including state of wellness, and compliance with care recommendations at a level to instruct
- Knowledge of diagnosing and treating medical problems and developing care plans.
- Skill in accurately evaluating patient problems in person or via phone and providing appropriate advice, intervention, or referral.
- Performs other duties necessary to maintain the overall efficiency and continuity of the practice.
- 0.1-0.2 FTE protected for administrative responsibilities
Note: The bullet about knowledge of patient assessment techniques appears also in Minimum Qualifications; we need to deduplicate. We'll keep it only once, perhaps under Responsibilities (since it's at a level to instruct). We'll remove duplicate from Minimum Qualifications.
Now Minimum Qualifications (Requirements):
- Education: Bachelor's degree and successful completion of accredited physician associate/assistant program.
- License/Certifications: Current Physician Associate license issued by the State of Maine or eligible of licensure. NCCPA certification. Current BLS required.
- Experience: Orthopedic experience preferred.
Now Qualifications/Knowledge/Skills:
We have many knowledge/abilities:
- Knowledge of medical model and roles of physicians and physician assistants/associates.
- Familiar with anatomy, pharmacology, pathophysiology, clinical medicine and physical diagnosis.
- Knowledge of indications for and proper techniques for office procedures.
- Knowledge of diagnosing and treating medical problems and developing care plans.
- Skill in accurately evaluating patient problems in person or via phone and providing appropriate advice, intervention, or referral.
- Ability to make responsible decisions within scope of PA practice.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with physicians on cases.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Strong computer skills.
- Ability to maintain confidentiality.
Note: Some of these overlap with Responsibilities (knowledge of diagnosing and treating medical problems and developing care plans; skill in evaluating patient problems). We need to deduplicate across sections. Let's see:
Responsibilities includes:
- Knowledge of diagnosing and treating medical problems and developing care plans.
- Skill in accurately evaluating patient problems in person or via phone and providing appropriate advice, intervention, or referral.
Qualifications includes same items. We should keep only one occurrence. Which section is more appropriate? The Responsibilities section is about duties; those items are more like abilities needed to perform duties. Could be placed under Qualifications/Skills. Since Responsibilities already includes them, we could remove from Qualifications to avoid duplication. However the instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; we can keep them in one place. Let's keep them under Qualifications/Skills and remove from Responsibilities? But Responsibilities also includes those as part of duties; maybe they are responsibilities. However the responsibility list includes them as part of duties; they are indeed responsibilities. The qualifications list includes them as knowledge/skills. It's ambiguous. To avoid duplication, we could keep them only under Responsibilities (since they are phrased as responsibilities). Then we remove them from Qualifications.
Let's examine the Responsibilities list: It includes:
- Knowledge of patient assessment techniques including taking medical histories, performing physicals, evaluating health status including state of wellness, and compliance with care recommendations at a level to instruct
- Knowledge of diagnosing and treating medical problems and developing care plans.
- Skill in accurately evaluating patient problems in person or via phone and providing appropriate advice, intervention, or referral.
These are indeed responsibilities (they need to have that knowledge/skill). The Qualifications list also includes them. We'll keep them under Responsibilities and remove from Qualifications.
Now Qualifications list after removal:
- Knowledge of medical model and roles of physicians and physician assistants/associates.
- Familiar with anatomy, pharmacology, pathophysiology, clinical medicine and physical diagnosis.
- Knowledge of indications for and proper techniques for office procedures.
- Ability to make responsible decisions within scope of PA practice.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with physicians on cases.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
