Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Technologist

We need to extract substantive content: job summary, responsibilities, requirements, maybe qualifications, skills, benefits, pay, schedule. The posting includes a lot of responsibilities and criteria. We need to format using

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We have job summary: "Under the direction of the Radiologist, Director, and Manager performs diagnostic medical imaging by magnetic resonance including Cardiac MRI, Interoperative MRI or invasive procedures." We have responsibilities: many bullet points (the "Essential Functions" list with percentages). We need to extract duties as list items. The posting includes many criteria but they are essentially responsibilities. We'll create a

• list of responsibilities. Probably combine the essential functions with their percentages? We can include the percentages as part of each bullet. We also have requirements/qualifications: maybe not explicit. The posting includes criteria like "Demonstrates ability to assess a situation..." etc. Those are more like performance criteria, not qualifications. There's no explicit education or certification requirements. Might be implied: need ARRT registration? Not explicit. There's mention of "Provides documentation of current ARRT status." So requirement: ARRT certification. Also "Maintains proficiency in the utilization of the Electronic Medical Record (EMR)." Could be skill. We have no explicit benefits, pay, schedule. So we should not create those sections. Thus sections: About the role (job summary), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe include ARRT certification, EMR proficiency, etc.), Skills (maybe list skills like MR safety screening, venipuncture, cross sectional anatomy, communication, teamwork, etc.). We need to ensure we only include sections with real specific content. Let's extract responsibilities list: From the "Essential Functions" list: 1) Performs magnetic resonance imaging examinations.
