NP (RNFA) / PA - Otolaryngology ENT

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: h3 headings for sections present: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must include only sections with real content. From posting: Overview (maybe About the role). Then responsibilities list (numbered). Qualifications (two sets: one for APN/Nurse Practitioner, one for PA). Also there is Compensation (Pay). Benefits mentioned: "comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits." Also schedule: "No Weekends Required Holiday Work As Needed On-Call Commitment Required". So schedule info present. We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Use h3 for each section. We need to use ul/li for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For responsibilities we have numbered list; we can convert to ul li. Qualifications: there are two sets: one for APN/Nurse Practitioner and one for PA. Could combine under Requirements? The instruction: Use h3 for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have sections: About the role (overview), Responsibilities, Requirements (maybe combine qualifications?), Qualifications (maybe separate?), Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to decide what content goes where. Overview: The first paragraph(s) about role: "Overview The Advanced Practice Nurse (APN) or Physician Assistant (PA) utilizes a patient-centered coordinated care model... Otolaryngology Physician Assistant / Nurse Practitioner to manage inpatient consults and outpatient clinic and OR time. Minimum of 2-3 years of PA/APN experience, a background in a surgical specialty, critical care, or emergency medicine. Experience Or a Demonstrated Passion For Otolaryngology Preferred. No Weekends Required Holiday Work As Needed On-Call Commitment Required Nurse Practitioner candidates must also have RNFA". That's overview and also schedule bits. We'll separate schedule later. Responsibilities: list 1-32. Requirements: maybe the minimum experience etc? Could be "Minimum of 2-3 years of PA/APN experience, a background in a surgical specialty, critical care, or emergency medicine. Experience Or a Demonstrated Passion For Otolaryngology Preferred." Also "Nurse Practitioner candidates must also have RNFA". That could be requirements. Qualifications: the detailed education, licenses, certifications for APN and PA. Skills: maybe "Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Proficient computer skills that include but are not limited to Microsoft Office and/or Google Suite platforms." Also maybe other skills like leadership etc but those are in responsibilities. Benefits: "comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, vision, paid leave, tuition reimbursement, and retirement benefits." Pay: "Minimum rate of $156,644.80 Annually" plus description about pay equity etc. We need to include the pay info but not filler like "commensurate with experience". The posting includes a lot of text about pay equity; we should keep substantive info: the minimum rate, and mention that HMH offers comprehensive benefits package (already in benefits). The pay equity description is somewhat boilerplate but maybe considered substantive? It's about how pay is determined. Might be okay to include but we should avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". The text includes many factors; we could keep it as it's part of compensation description. However instruction: "never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD")". The pay equity description is not placeholder; it's actual explanation. So we can include. Schedule: "No Weekends Required Holiday Work As Needed On-Call Commitment Required". Also maybe mention "On-Call Commitment Required". We'll put that. We must remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, scam-warning, navigation, cookie, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove the "Our Network..." and "As a courtesy..." etc. Also remove the equal opportunity employer block. Also remove the "HACKENSACK MERIDIAN HEALTH (HMH) IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER" etc. Also remove the "Our Network..." paragraph. Also remove duplicated lines: there are duplicate "Education, Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Required:" sections for APN and PA; we keep both under Qualifications. We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown. Let's craft:
