MRI Technologist
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove application instructions. So we need to extract content: The posting includes:
- Intro: "Welcome! We’re excited you’re considering an opportunity with us! To apply to this position and be considered, click the Apply button located above this message and complete the application in full. Below, you’ll find other important information about this position." That's application instruction and intro; we should remove.
- Then: "Performs MRI procedures which are complex and elaborate to assist the physician in the diagnosis of injury and/or disease. Performs the duties and responsibilities within the scope of an MRI Technologist - Level I, as defined within the job description."
That's about the role.
- Minimum Qualifications section: includes education, certification, licensure details, experience.
- CORE DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES: list of duties.
- PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS: list.
- WORKING ENVIRONMENT: list.
- Skills And Abilities: list.
- The MRI Clinical Ladder description: seems like extra info about levels; maybe part of qualifications? It's substantive but not a standard heading; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications? Might be better to include as part of Requirements (maybe under "Qualifications").
- Additional Job Description: Scheduled Weekly Hours: 40 Exempt/Non-Exempt Shift: United States of America (Non-Exempt) Company UNTWN Uniontown Hospital Cost Center 160 UNTWN Neuro MRI Address 500 W Berkeley Street Uniontown Pennsylvania
That's schedule and location info. So we can have a Schedule section (40 hours weekly, Non-Exempt shift). Also maybe location but not required.
- Benefits: none mentioned.
- Pay: none mentioned.
Thus we will include sections: About the role (maybe heading "About the role"), Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications), Skills, Schedule. Possibly also Physical Requirements and Working Environment could be part of Requirements or separate sections? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but we should prefer those. However we have physical requirements and working environment specifics; we could incorporate them into Requirements or maybe a separate "Physical Requirements" heading not in list but maybe okay? The instruction: "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It suggests those are examples, not exclusive list. But we should avoid creating sections with filler. Physical requirements and working environment are substantive; we could include them under Requirements or as separate sections like "Physical Requirements" and "Working Environment". Since they are not in the example list but still valid headings. However to be safe, we could incorporate them into a "Requirements" section (which can include education, certification, experience, physical requirements, work environment). But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to combine.
Thus we can have sections:
- About the role (intro paragraph)
- Responsibilities (list of duties)
- Requirements (includes education/certification/licensure, experience, physical requirements, working environment)
- Skills (knowledge and abilities)
- Schedule (weekly hours, shift)
We must not include Benefits, Pay if not present.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
Thus:

Note: The last bullet includes a sentence that is not a duty but a requirement; but it's part of responsibilities list; we keep as is.
Now Requirements:
We need to include education, certification, licensure, experience, physical requirements, working environment.
We can format as - for each item.
Education/Certification/Licensure:
- Must possess current licensure as required by state board where services will be provided: MD: No state license is required; OH: No state license is required; PA: No state license is required; WV: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) License through the West Virginia Medical Imaging and Radiation Therapy Technology Board.
- Registered through American Registry of Radiologic Technologist (ARRT) in MRI OR MRI certification through American Registry of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Technologists (ARMRIT).
- Certification in Basic Life Support within 30 days of hire.
- State criminal background check and Federal (if applicable), as required for regulated areas.
Experience:
- One (1) year experience as an MRI Technologist (apprentice experience not applicable).
Physical Requirements:
- Extended periods of standing and walking.
- Lift, push, and pull up to 50 lbs of weight.
- Carry items of up to 20 lbs.
Working Environment:
- Works in a strong magnetic field.
- May be exposed to virus, disease, and infection from patients and specimens in working environment.
- May be exposed to traumatic situations including psychiatric crisis, physical injuries, and death.
- Possible exposure to ionizing radiation and sharps.
Also include MRI Clinical Ladder details? Could be part of Requirements as additional info about levels. Might be too much but we can include as a note.
We could add a bullet: "MRI Clinical Ladder: system-wide clinical advancement program..." but it's not a requirement for this position; it's just info. Might be considered substantive but not a requirement. Could be omitted? The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should include it somewhere. Perhaps under Requirements as additional note.
We'll add a bullet: "MRI Clinical Ladder provides levels 1-4 with increasing experience, education, and leadership requirements."
But we need to preserve details: Level 1 No experience required. All MRI technologists with less than 12 months of experience enter at Level one. Level 2 Meets requirements for previous level. One year of experience (apprentice experience not applicable). Complete competency of Skill Set Tech 1, plus additional skill sets. Level 3 Meets requirements for previous levels. One continuing education pathway. Three years of experience (apprentice experience not applicable). Compliant in 3 leadership/supervisory skills. Complete competency of Skill Set Tech 1 and 2, plus additional skill sets Level 4 Meets requirements for previous levels. One continuing education pathway. Five years of experience (apprentice experience not applicable). Compliant in 5 leadership/supervisory skills. Complete competency of Skill Set Tech 1, 2, and 3 plus 3 additional skill sets
That's a lot; we could include as a sublist under Requirements maybe as a separate subsection but we only have
headings; we could embed as a paragraph within Requirements.
Given the instruction to prefer few substantive sections, we can keep Requirements as a big list with sub-bullets? But we must use - for any list. We can nest lists? Probably okay but not required. We'll just include as separate
- items with semicolons.
We'll include the MRI Clinical Ladder as a paragraph (
) inside Requirements maybe.
But the instruction: Use
for prose. So we can have a paragraph describing the ladder.
Thus Requirements section could have:
