Medical Office Specialist - Women's Medical Group - Physician Practice
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The text includes some boilerplate like "HMH is committed to pay equity..." but that's about pay transparency; we can keep as part of Pay section? It's about pay. The "Job Duties" heading appears but we should not repeat job title; we can ignore that heading. We need to include the substantive content: description paragraphs, responsibilities list, qualifications list, pay info, benefits info.
We must not include duplicated lines. Ensure we capture all responsibilities bullet points (they are in paragraph with semicolons). Better to convert each duty into
- . The responsibilities paragraph is long; we need to split into list items. Let's extract each duty:
- Promotes patient satisfaction by providing excellent service through friendly and helpful interactions with patients and visitors.

We could combine into one list with headings? But spec says use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Could have separate lists for Required and Preferred, each preceded by a
maybe. But we can just make one list with all qualifications, but we need to preserve distinction? The spec didn't require separating required vs preferred; just preserve all substantive info. We could include a
stating "Required:" then list, then another
"Preferred:" then list. That's fine.
Pay: They gave "Minimum rate of $20.64 Hourly". Also they have a paragraph about pay transparency. We'll include that as prose in Pay section.
Benefits: They mention comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits. We'll put that as list.
We must not include sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We must not include Job ID/requisition numbers.

We must not include duplicated lines.
