Office Support Assistant IV - UMKC School of Medicine
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. Also remove "Application Deadline", "Sponsorship Information", "Community Information", "Benefit Eligibility" maybe? Actually benefit eligibility is substantive? It says "This position is eligible for University benefits." That's benefit info. We can include Benefits section if there is specific content. The posting mentions benefits: "The University of Missouri provides generous leave, health plans, and retirement contributions that add to your bottom line." Also later: "Benefit Eligibility This position is eligible for University benefits. As part of your total compensation, the University offers a comprehensive benefits package, including medical, dental and vision plans, retirement, paid time off, short- and long-term disability, paid parental leave, paid caregiver leave, and educational fee discounts for all four UM System campuses." So we can include Benefits section with that detail.
Pay: "Anticipated Hiring Range The anticipated hiring range for this position has been established as $16.00 - $19.00 per hour." So Pay section.
Schedule: "This position is fully on-site and requires attendance at the designated work location five days per week." That's schedule info.
We need sections only when posting has real specific content. So we can have About the role (maybe from first paragraph). Responsibilities (duties). Requirements (minimum qualifications). Qualifications (preferred qualifications). Skills maybe from preferred qualifications? Could combine. But we can have Skills section if there is specific skill info: proficiency with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Also maybe "Five years of experience supporting staff and faculty in education or a related field". That's more experience. We'll decide.
We must not repeat job title as heading. So no heading for "Office Support Assistant IV". We'll start with maybe
About the role
then paragraph summarizing the description.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like specific duties: list them. We'll need to extract duties from the "Duties And Responsibilities" section. It's a long paragraph with bullet-like sentences but not actual list. We need to convert to - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should break each duty into list items.
We need to be careful not to lose any detail.
Let's parse the posting.
First paragraph: "Hiring Department Department of Student Affairs University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Medicine Job Description The department of Student Affairs at the UMKC School of Medicine is seeking an experienced Office Support Assistant IV to assist with a variety of duties, including those related to the elective program, event and ceremony support, and general tasks related to office and student support. This position will interface with members of the School of Medicine and affiliate hospitals (University Health, Children’s Mercy Hospital, St. Luke’s Hospital, KCVA, Mosaic Life Care) and will be responsible for detailed clerical and administrative tasks requiring a high degree of organization, accuracy, and attention to detail while managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced academic environment. This position is fully on-site and requires attendance at the designated work location five days per week."
That's about the role and schedule.
Then "Duties And Responsibilities" heading.
Under that: "Under the supervision of the Elective Coordinator, provide administrative support for the School of Medicine elective program (40%)Under supervision of the Assistant Dean of Student Engagement, Assist with School of Medicine events and ceremonies on the Kansas City and St. Joseph campuses to include:White Coat CeremonyMatch DayHooding CeremonyClass meetings and orientationsCareer Services eventsAssists with the scheduling and placement of approximately 150 medical students during each four-week elective block across 13 scheduling cycles annually, including home and visiting studentsCommunicates with affiliate hospitals, clinical departments, elective coordinators, and student advisors regarding student placements and requirements for both home and visiting studentsMaintains spreadsheets, databases, and other tracking systems related to scheduling, student assignments, evaluations, and visiting student participationEnters, verifies, and audits data to ensure records are accurate, complete, and up to dateAssists with administrative processes for visiting student rotations, including processing documentation, maintaining records, and responding to routine inquiriesMonitors deadlines and tracks required materials to support timely placements Prepares reports, correspondence, and scheduling materials for elective administrators, faculty, and staff in accordance with established practices and FERPA guidelines Duties will center around event space coordination/reservation, faculty and student invitations, event script preparation, catering arrangements, cap and gown management Support For Other Office Or Academic Needs Provide proctoring assistance Assist with student communication as neededOther areas of support as needed or assigned"
We need to split into list items. Let's identify each duty:
- Under the supervision of the Elective Coordinator, provide administrative support for the School of Medicine elective program (40%)
- Under supervision of the Assistant Dean of Student Engagement, Assist with School of Medicine events and ceremonies on the Kansas City and St. Joseph campuses to include:

- Support For Other Office Or Academic Needs
- Provide proctoring assistance

We need to preserve all details.

Qualifications

Maybe Skills section: but we already have proficiency in Qualifications. Could keep Qualifications as preferred qualifications. Could also have Skills section for proficiency. But instructions: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine qualifications and skills into one "Qualifications" section that includes both education and skills. That's fine.

We need to ensure we didn't miss any substantive info: The affiliate hospitals list: (University Health, Children’s Mercy Hospital, St. Luke’s Hospital, KCVA, Mosaic Life Care). Should be included in About the role or Responsibilities. It appears in first paragraph: "This position will interface with members of the School of Medicine and affiliate hospitals (University Health, Children’s Mercy Hospital, St. Luke’s Hospital, KCVA, Mosaic Life Care)". We should keep that.
Also mention "FERPA guidelines". Already in duties.
Also mention "Grade: GGS-6 University Title: Office Support Assistant IV". We should not repeat job title as heading but we can include that info in About the role maybe? It's metadata but not job title heading. It's okay to include as prose. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short or drop it." So we can include Grade and University Title in a short paragraph maybe under About the role or separate? Probably include in About the role paragraph.
Also "To review the University of Missouri’s Staff Compensation Structure you can view the Job Code detail page." That's maybe minor metadata; could drop? It's not essential. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a link to internal info; maybe drop as it's not substantive to the job. Safer to drop.
"Internal applicants can determine their university title by accessing the Talent Profile tile in myHR." Also minor; drop.
"Application Deadline For best consideration, submit application materials by October 1, 2026. Applications will continue to be accepted and reviewed until filled." That's application instruction; drop.
"Sponsorship Information Employment visa sponsorship is not available for this position." That's maybe substantive? It's about visa sponsorship; could be considered relevant but maybe minor. The instruction says remove application instructions; sponsorship info maybe not required. Could drop.
"Community Information ..." drop.
"Benefit Eligibility ..." we kept.
"Equal Employment Opportunity ..." drop.
Now ensure we didn't duplicate.
