We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We need to extract content: The posting includes Pay Scale: $84.59 - $118.37 / Hour. Also Annual Full Pay Range: $176,624 - $247,157. So we have Pay info. Schedule: Work Schedule Days, 8-Hour Shifts, Monday-Friday. Benefits: Not explicitly listed. There's mention of "UCSD Layoff from Career Appointment" etc but not benefits. No explicit benefits like health insurance, retirement. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits, so omit. About the role: The description paragraph(s) under "Description". We can combine into a section About the role. Responsibilities: There's a "Responsibilities include conducting diagnostic evaluations..." etc. Also later "Additional Clinical Responsibilities Include". So we can gather responsibilities. Requirements: Minimum Qualifications. Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications. Skills: Could be extracted from qualifications like "Strong computer skills, including experience using Electronic Medical Records, EPIC proficiency. Excellent written and verbal communication skills..." Might be considered Skills. But we already have Requirements and Qualifications; we could put skills under Skills section. However we need to avoid duplication. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are distinct. We'll include both if content present. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from posting, but we can format as lists. We must not repeat job title as heading. Do not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

or drop it. So we can include a short paragraph with metadata like Payroll Title, Department, Hiring Pay Scale, Worksite, Appointment Type, etc. Probably we can put that in a

before sections. We must remove boilerplate like EEO, scam-warning, application instructions, etc. Also remove duplicated lines. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's extract substantive content: Metadata lines: - Payroll Title NURSE PRACT 2 - Department MEDICINE/Gastro - Hiring Pay Scale $84.59 - $118.37 / Hour - Worksite La Jolla - Appointment Type Career Appointment - Appointment Percent 100% - Union NX - Contract Total Openings 1 - Work Schedule Days, 8-Hour Shifts, Monday-Friday - #141483 (NP) Nurse Practitioner - Hepatology - Filing Deadline: Mon 9/28/2026 But we should not put Job ID as heading; we can include in a short p. We also have "Apply Now" repeated; we should drop application instructions. Now description: "Under general supervision, the Hepatology Nurse Practitioner (NP) - Research provides comprehensive, independent care to patients with chronic, advanced, and medically complex liver disease within a fast-paced high-volume ambulatory specialty practice. The NP provides independent clinical assessment and management of new and established hepatology patients, including patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), viral hepatitis, cirrhosis and its complications, portal hypertension, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), and liver transplant-related conditions.

Job standards are to be performed at the PRACTITIONER level. While not required, a cover letter is highly recommended when applying to this position." We need to separate About the role (description) and Responsibilities (list). The description already includes responsibilities sentences; but we can still create a Responsibilities section with bullet list of duties. We need to extract responsibilities list: from "Responsibilities include conducting diagnostic evaluations, developing and modifying treatment plans, prescribing and managing therapies, monitoring disease progression, coordinating specialty and procedural care, and recognizing situations requiring physician consultation or escalation." Also later "Additional Clinical Responsibilities Include Management of urgent hepatology referrals and clinical concerns Diagnostic testing and results Medication management Epic In Basket and MyChart communications Patient education and counseling Telehealth visits, including video and telephone encounters Timely and accurate clinical documentation". Also earlier tasks: "The NP performs comprehensive histories and physical examinations; orders, reviews, and interprets diagnostic testing; develops and implements individualized treatment plans; prescribes and manages therapies; provides patient education and counseling; and coordinates diagnostic, procedural, specialty, and longitudinal follow-up." Also "The NP will independently manage a patient panel in the ambulatory setting and collaborate closely with hepatologists, APPs, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, transplant teams, research teams, and other multidisciplinary providers to ensure timely, coordinated, and comprehensive care." Also "The NP provides longitudinal management for patients with chronic and advanced liver disease, including high-complexity medical decision-making, diagnostic review, medication management, patient counseling, and multidisciplinary care coordination." Also "The NP reviews hepatology-specific diagnostics, including liver imaging, elastography/FibroScan, MRI/MRE, laboratory studies, pathology, and liver biopsy results to guide evidence-based treatment and ongoing disease management." Also "High-Volume Ambulatory Practice and Patient Access The NP independently manages a high-volume ambulatory practice that includes new consultations, follow-up visits, urgent referrals, telehealth encounters, and ongoing disease management. The role supports division-wide patient access initiatives by helping maintain timely appointments, continuity of care, quality outcomes, documentation standards, and efficient clinic throughput." Also "MASLD Research Center and Clinical Research The NP will participate in hepatology-related clinical research and protocol-driven care through the MASLD Research Center, including supporting patients enrolled in clinical trials, assisting with protocol-specific clinical management, coordinating with investigators and research coordinators, and helping ensure continuity between research activities and clinical care.The NP may participate in protocol-driven assessments, review clinical and research-related diagnostic information, provide ongoing disease management, and collaborate with multidisciplinary research teams."
