Neurodiagnostic Technician-EMG
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose appropriate headings.
We have content about the role (description). Could put under About the role
with paragraphs.
Responsibilities: the Work Performed sections (Level 1,2,3 duties). Could be a list.
Requirements: maybe Minimum Qualifications (education, experience). Could be under Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe Degrees, Licensures, & Certifications.
Skills: maybe technical skills mentioned (computer skills, troubleshooting, etc.) Could be under Skills.
Benefits: not mentioned.
Pay: not mentioned.
Schedule: Work Hours given.
Thus we will have sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule.
We must not include empty sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading (not present). Do not put Job ID etc.
We need to remove boilerplate: Duke is an Equal Opportunity Employer..., Essential Physical Job Functions.
Also remove duplicated lines? Not seeing duplicates.
We need to keep location, floating note, work hours.
Let's extract content.

Summary: "EMG technicians looks at multiple types of Neuromuscular disorders and peripheral nerve disorders. This position will require routine and complex procedures to obtain data for use in the diagnosis of clinical disorders of the nervous system. EMG technicians will also be trained in Neuromuscular ultrasound and assist with Muscle biopsies. This role involves at least one of the following modalities of Neurodiagnostics: Electromyography (EMG), Evoked Potentials (EP), or Epilepsy Monitoring (CLTM). The technologist performs diagnostic tests to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them."
Work Performed: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 details.
We need to turn duties into list items. Could group under Responsibilities.
