Patient Coordinator
for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. The posting includes Position Objective (maybe About the role) and Duties And Responsibilities (Responsibilities). No explicit Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we should include only About the role (maybe from Position Objective) and Responsibilities (list of duties). Must not repeat job title. Use for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to preserve all substantive information, no invented details. Remove boilerplate. The posting includes many repeated lines; we need to consolidate unique duties.
We need to extract duties from the text. Let's parse.
The posting starts: "Position Objective: The Patient Coordinator will provide support services to satisfy the overall operational objectives of the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) within the National Institutes of Health (NIH)."
Then "Duties And Responsibilities" followed by a long list with numbers and repeated items.

- (Work products statements are meta; maybe we can omit as they are not duties but descriptions of work products; but they still convey duties. However they are somewhat redundant. We could include them as separate bullet points? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. The "Work products and documents related to..." statements are substantive but they are essentially describing the same duties. Might be okay to keep them but they'd be repetitive. However we could keep them as separate bullet points to preserve info. But we need to avoid filler. They are not filler; they describe work products. Might be okay to include but they'd be many. Better to consolidate them into the duties already listed; they don't add new info beyond what we have. The instruction says preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Summarizing away detail could be considered removing detail. If we combine similar items, we are summarizing but not losing detail? Might be okay if we keep the essence. However to be safe, we could keep the list as is but deduplicate obvious repeats. The "Work products..." statements are not exactly same as earlier duties but they refer to same categories. Could be considered detail. But we can incorporate them as part of the duty description (e.g., "Enter requests in the ATV system (work products related to...)"). However that adds detail.
Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we should produce a concise but complete list.
Thus produce
