Part-Time Veterinarian
for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections when posting has real specific content. We have content: About Petco (description of company). Could map to "About the role"? Actually "About Petco" is about company, not role. But we can use "About the role" heading for description of role? The posting includes "Essential Job Functions" (responsibilities), "Other Duties And Responsibilities", "Nature Of Supervision", "Planning And Problem Solving", "Impact", "Supervisory Responsibility", "Education/Experience", "Work Environment", "Contacts". Also pay range given. Benefits: link to benefits page but not detailed. We should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them; it only mentions link but not specifics, so we should not create Benefits. Pay: we have salary range $55.50 - $88.50 Hourly. So we can include Pay section. Schedule: not specified. So omit.
We need sections: About the role? Could use "About Petco" as about the role? Might be better to use "About the role" heading and put the Petco description there? But instructions: Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we should follow those exact headings if we include them. So we need to decide which sections we have content for.
- About the role: we have description of Petco and role? Could combine the introductory paragraph about wanting to help pets etc. That's about role? Might be okay.
- Responsibilities: we have Essential Job Functions list and Other Duties.
- Requirements: we have Education/Experience, licensure, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe overlapping with Requirements; but we could combine.
- Skills: we have communication skills, problem solving, etc.
- Pay: we have salary range.
- Benefits: not specific, omit.
- Schedule: not specified, omit.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include lists for duties, requirements, etc.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions. So we must strip out EEO statement, translation instructions, etc.
Also remove "It is unlawful in Massachusetts..." maybe that's legal boilerplate; remove.
Also remove "The pay ranges outlined below are presented in accordance with state-specific regulations..." maybe part of Pay section but we can keep the salary range but remove the explanatory text? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The explanatory text about pay ranges is substantive? It's about how pay ranges are presented; could be considered boilerplate but it's about pay. Might keep? Safer to keep the salary range line and maybe the note that actual pay rates depend on factors. That's substantive. We'll keep a brief note.
We must not include application instructions like "see https://careers.petco.com/us/en/key-benefits". That's a link to benefits; we might keep as part of Benefits? But we are not creating Benefits section. Could we include a link in Pay? Probably not. Better to omit that link as it's not substantive for role? It's a reference to benefits details; but we are not creating Benefits section, so we could drop it.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's structure:
About the role
Introductory paragraph about wanting to help pets, Petco description, core values, etc.
Responsibilities

We also have Work Environment and Contacts etc. Could be part of Responsibilities or separate sections like "Work Environment" but not in allowed headings. Since only allowed headings are those list, we should not add extra headings. So we need to incorporate that info somewhere else, maybe within Responsibilities as prose? But we must preserve all substantive information. Work Environment: "The majority of job duties are conducted in the Vetco Total Care veterinary full-service hospital. Position requires bending, kneeling, lifting (up to 30 pounds, as necessary), and standing for long periods of time. A large amount of this partner’s time will be spent in direct contact with clients and their pets." This is substantive; we need to include it. Where to put? Could be under Responsibilities as additional bullet? Or under About the role? Probably better to add a bullet under Responsibilities? But it's not a duty; it's work environment. Could add a bullet under Responsibilities? Might be okay but could be misrepresenting. However instructions: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Work environment is not a duty/requirement/benefit, but we could still put in
prose under a section like About the role? But we already used About the role for intro. Could add a
after About the role describing work environment. That's permissible: we can have multiple
under a section. So we can add a paragraph under About the role describing work environment.
Contacts: "This position will regularly communicate with clients, veterinary specialists, and companies that provide products and/or services that the practice utilizes." That's also substantive; could add to Responsibilities as bullet or to About the role.
Impact, Supervisory Responsibility, Planning And Problem Solving etc. Those are also substantive. We need to preserve them. Could incorporate into Skills or Responsibilities? Impact: "This position will impact the organization by contributing to the growth of a productive practice while focusing on a high-quality standard of care. From an overall hospital organizational standpoint, this position is critical to ensuring that we have a cohesive, well-trained, and motivated team. The desired result is the creation of an optimal environment that ensures employee retention, patient well-being, and customer satisfaction." That's substantive; could be a paragraph under About the role or maybe under Responsibilities? It's about impact, not duty. Could add a paragraph under About the role.
Supervisory Responsibility: "This position has no direct supervisory responsibilities, however, as stated above the Veterinarian is a de facto leader in the hospital." Could be a note under About the role.
Planning And Problem Solving: "Problem solving is at the heart of veterinary medicine, and it is expected that any successful candidate will possess excellent problem-solving skills that allow expeditious diagnosis of patient problems." Already covered in Skills.
We need to ensure we don't miss any substantive info.
