Patient Specialist - Detroit, MI (1099 Contractor, Per Diem/On Call)
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections if posting has real specific content. We must not repeat job title as heading. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc). The posting includes a lot of description: company overview, role description, essential duties, competencies, requirements, work environment, physical demands, travel, other duties, EEO statement (should be removed). Also includes "This is a paid per fitting position." That's pay info? It says paid per fitting position but no amount. According to rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It says "paid per fitting position" but no specific pay amount or schedule. Should we include Pay? The rule: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. "paid per fitting position" is a statement about pay structure but not a specific amount. Is that considered filler? It's not a specific amount, but it's still stating that it's paid per fitting. Might be considered substantive? However the rule says avoid placeholder like "commensurate with experience". "paid per fitting position" is somewhat specific about compensation type but not amount. I'd lean to not create a Pay section because it's not a specific pay figure or schedule. Similarly schedule: they mention flexibility of work schedule, ability to accept assignments that could include daytime, evening, weekend hours. That's schedule info. Could we create a Schedule section? The rule: never create Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It does mention flexibility and ability to accept assignments that could include daytime, evening, weekend hours. That's schedule info. Might be enough to include a Schedule section. But we need to avoid filler like "varies". This is somewhat specific: flexibility, daytime/evening/weekend. I'd include a Schedule section with that info.
Benefits: Not mentioned. So no Benefits section.
We need sections: About the role (maybe from company overview and role description). Responsibilities (essential duties). Requirements (education/experience required). Qualifications? Could combine with Requirements? But we have both Requirements and Preferred qualifications. Could have Requirements section for required, and Qualifications for preferred? The instruction: use headings for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Schedule. Skills maybe from competencies? Could be Skills section. We'll include Skills from competencies list.
We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details from the posting.
Let's extract:
About the role: company overview and role purpose. Could combine: "The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience... The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities..." etc.
Responsibilities: list of essential duties bullet points.
Requirements: list of required education/experience etc.
Qualifications: preferred qualifications.
Skills: competencies list.
Schedule: flexibility of work schedule, ability to accept assignments that could include daytime, evening, weekend hours.
We must not include boilerplate like EEO statement, "Other Duties: This job description is not designed..." maybe we can keep "Other Duties" as part of Responsibilities? It's substantive but maybe we can include as a note. The instruction: remove duplicated lines, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate. The "Other Duties" paragraph is not boilerplate; it's about job description flexibility. Might keep.
Also "Kestra Medical Technologies, Inc does not discriminate..." is EEO boilerplate, remove.

We could keep that as About the role.

- Direct cardiac patient care experience – RN, RT, CVIS, Paramedic, CRM
Now Work Environment, Physical Demands, Travel, Other Duties: we could incorporate into Responsibilities or a separate section? The instruction only mentions certain headings; we could add a section like "Work Environment" but not in allowed list. Better to incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like "Working Conditions" but not allowed. Since we must only use allowed headings, we could add these details under Responsibilities as additional bullet points or under About the role? Probably better to add a section "Work Environment" but not allowed; risk of being considered extra heading. The instruction: "Use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It says e.g., implying those are examples but we should stick to those? It says "Use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It seems we should only use those headings. So we should not add other headings. We can incorporate those details into Responsibilities or About the role as prose.
Thus we can add a paragraph under Responsibilities about work environment, physical demands, travel, other duties.
Now Schedule section: we have flexibility of work schedule and ability to accept assignments that could include daytime, evening, weekend hours. Also mention "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided" already in essential duties but we can put schedule details.
Now we must not include Pay section.
