Physical Demands and Working Conditions could be under Requirements as well, but maybe better under Qualifications? However we have Qualifications heading allowed. Could create Qualifications for physical demands and working conditions.
But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Physical Demands and Working Conditions into Requirements as well.

Pay:
Pay
Pay is based on experience, skills and education. If position is part-time, salary will be pro-rated based on scheduled hours. The pay range may also vary within the stated range based on specialty if applicable. Non-Exempt positions may have shift differential and/or Overtime paid, if applicable. Hourly range: $20.00- $27.77
We also have Licenses & Certifications Required CPR/BLS. Already included CPR Certification; we could add Licenses & Certifications Required: CPR/BLS.
Add under Requirements maybe.
Add: - CPR/BLS certification required
(though we already have CPR Certification; we can note both.)
We must not repeat info unnecessarily but preserve all. We have CPR Certification already; we can add note that CPR/BLS required.
Now we need to ensure we didn't include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We removed.
Now output only HTML fragment.
Check for any missing substantive info: The mission statement? Already in About the role. "Supports the Mission of Frederick Health and complies with the Standards of Behavior." included.
"Reporting Relationship Practice Manager" - we omitted. That's substantive: Reporting Relationship Practice Manager. Should we include? It's a detail about reporting. Could be under About the role or Responsibilities. Let's add a list item under Responsibilities: "Reports to Practice Manager". Or maybe under About the role as a sentence. Since we have a Responsibilities list, we can add.
Add: - Reports to Practice Manager
Also "Caring for you as you care for the CommUNITY" is a tagline; maybe not needed but it's part of benefits description? It's a slogan; could be omitted as boilerplate? It's not a legal boilerplate; it's a tagline. Might be considered part of benefits description? It's under benefits paragraph: "Frederick Health offers a comprehensive and affordable benefits package. Health, Dental and Vision insurance are offered the 1st of the month after 30 days of employment to all employees hired to work at least 20 hours per week and we offer multiple plans to best meet your and your family's needs.
