Medical Laboratory Scientist - Lead
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Overview is not listed; but we could treat it as a section? The instruction says use those headings for sections; we can include Overview as maybe Overview
but not in list? It says "e.g." not exclusive. Probably okay to include Overview heading. However they say "Do NOT repeat the job title as a heading (the page already shows it)". No job title given. So fine.
We need to include Benefits, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Pay (Salary Level). Possibly Schedule? Not present. So omit Schedule.
We must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate: EEO, etc. Remove duplicated lines.
We need to format Benefits as - . The Benefits list includes: Medical, Dental, Vision, Life Insurance, Generous Paid Time Off (PTO), Company-paid Short-term and Long-term Disability Coverage, 401k plan with company contribution, Wellness program that rewards you practicing a healthy lifestyle, Tuition Reimbursement, Employee Assistance Program and Discount Program to some of your favorite retailers, Free Parking, Career Growth and Development, Supportive Team and Resources.
We need to keep them as list items.
Responsibilities: large paragraph; we need to keep as
maybe with line breaks? The instruction: use
for prose. So we can put the responsibilities text inside a
. It's long; okay.
Qualifications: include Minimum Qualifications and maybe Physical Demands and Work Environment? Those could be part of Qualifications? The instruction: Use headings for Qualifications. We could include Qualifications heading and then include the qualifications text (including Minimum Qualifications). Physical Demands and Work Environment maybe could be separate sections? Not in list; but we could incorporate them under Qualifications as prose. However they are separate sections; but we can include them under Qualifications heading as part of the prose. Or we could create separate headings for Physical Demands and Work Environment? Not in the list but maybe okay. Safer to keep them under Qualifications.
Pay: Salary Level $30 - $45 per hour plus description. So we create
Pay
and then with that info.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we don't repeat responsibilities lines twice (the posting had duplicates). We need to deduplicate.
Let's extract responsibilities text without duplicates. The posting had many repeated sentences. We need to preserve all substantive info but not duplicate. So we need to write a concise but comprehensive responsibilities paragraph covering all unique duties.
Let's list unique responsibilities from the text:

We need to combine into a paragraph, avoiding repetition.
Now Qualifications: Minimum Qualifications text plus maybe Physical Demands and Work Environment.
Minimum Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree or higher in Medical Technology, Clinical or Medical Laboratory Science from an NAACLS accredited program AND; ASCP or equivalent certification as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. OR - Bachelor of Science degree related to Chemistry, Biology, non-NAACLS accredited Medical Laboratory science, or other clinical healthcare degree AND; 12 semester hours of chemistry (general, bio-chemistry, organic chemistry) AND; 12 semester hours of biology (general, molecular, cell, or genetics) AND; ASCP or equivalent certification as a Medical Laboratory Scientist. Position requires a minimum of three (3) years of experience.
Physical Demands: description.
Work Environment: description.
We'll include them as prose under Qualifications heading.
Now Benefits: list.
Pay: Salary Level $30 - $45 per hour Compensation is based on education, relevant experience, certifications and licensure, pay equity and market considerations.
Now Overview: The first paragraph about Minnesota Oncology, mission, etc. Also "Why Work for Us?" maybe part of Overview. We'll keep Overview heading with that prose.
We must remove boilerplate: EEO statement, etc.
Now produce HTML fragment:

Now Qualifications paragraph: combine Minimum Qualifications, Physical Demands, Work Environment.
Let's craft:
"Minimum qualifications: a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Medical Technology, Clinical or Medical Laboratory Science from an NAACLS‑accredited program with ASCP or equivalent certification as a Medical Laboratory Scientist; OR a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry, Biology, non‑NAACLS accredited Medical Laboratory Science, or other clinical healthcare degree with 12 semester hours each of chemistry (general, biochemistry, organic) and biology (general, molecular, cell, or genetics) plus ASCP or equivalent certification; plus a minimum of three years of experience. Physical demands require full range of body motion, manual and finger dexterity, eye‑hand coordination for operating complex laboratory equipment, extensive sitting or standing, occasional lifting of up to 40 lbs, corrected vision, color perception, hearing within normal range, and legible handwriting. Work is performed in an office‑like setting with significant interaction with management, staff, external auditors, and clients; reasonable accommodations are provided for individuals with disabilities."
