Patient Specialist - La Mesa, CA (1099 Contractor, Per Diem/On Call)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings using

for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. We must not repeat job title. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, duplicated lines, application instructions, cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. Also remove duplicated paragraphs (the first paragraph repeated twice). Also remove "The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities..." etc. We need to extract content. Let's parse the posting. First part: "The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience in the external and internal cardiac medical device markets. The company was founded in 2014 by industry leaders inspired by the opportunity to unite modern wearable technologies with proven device therapies. Kestra’s solutions combine high quality and technical performance with a wearable design that provides the greatest regard for patient comfort and dignity. Innovating versatile new ways to deliver care, Kestra is helping patients and their care teams harmoniously monitor, manage, and protect life." That's about the company. Could be "About the role" or "About the company". The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use "About the role" for company overview? Might be better to use "About the role" for description of role. But we have a description of the role later: "The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities in support of the sales organization and the team of Regional Clinical Advisors (RCA). The APS will serve as the local patient care representative to provide effective and efficient patient fittings. We have an opening in La Mesa, CA. This is a paid per fitting position." That's role overview. So we can put that under

About the role

. Then "ESSENTIAL DUTIES" list: bullet points. Those are responsibilities. So we can put under

Responsibilities

with

• each duty. Then after duties we have "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". That's a benefit/pay note. Could be under Benefits or Pay. Since they mention competitive pay provided, but no specific amount. We should not create Pay section unless posting actually states them. It says "competitive pay provided" but no specifics. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state "competitive pay provided" and "Flexibility of work schedule". That is stating schedule flexibility and pay. So we could include a Benefits section (maybe includes flexibility and competitive pay). But we need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Here it's specific enough: "competitive pay provided" and "Flexibility of work schedule". So we can include a Benefits section with those points. Or we could include a Pay section with "competitive pay provided" and Schedule section with "Flexibility of work schedule". However instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine into Benefits section. Then after duties we have "Adhere to Pledge of Confidentiality..." that's a responsibility or requirement? It's a policy. Could be under Responsibilities as a duty: maintain confidentiality. We'll include as a duty. Then "COMPETENCIES" list: those are skills/qualities. Could be under Skills or Qualifications. The headings allowed: Skills, Qualifications. We can put under

  Skills

  the competencies list. Then "REQUIREMENTS:" section with Education/Experience Required etc. That's qualifications. So we can put under

  Requirements

  (or Qualifications). Since they have a heading REQUIREMENTS, we can map to Requirements. Then "Preferred:" list: those are preferred qualifications. Could be under Requirements as well, maybe separate but we can include under Requirements with a note. Then "WORK ENVIRONMENT", "PHYSICAL DEMANDS", "TRAVEL", "OTHER DUTIES". Those could be under Responsibilities or maybe a separate section like Working Conditions. Not in allowed headings list, but we could incorporate into Responsibilities or maybe a new heading not allowed? The instruction says use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but says "Use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It implies we should use those headings for sections; we could still add other headings but better to stick to allowed ones. We can incorporate WORK ENVIRONMENT, PHYSICAL DEMANDS, TRAVEL into Responsibilities or maybe a separate "Working Conditions" but not in list. Safer to put them under Responsibilities as additional duties/conditions. Then "OTHER DUTIES:" is a disclaimer; we can include as a note under Responsibilities. Then EEO statement: remove boilerplate. Also need to remove duplicated lines: The first paragraph about Kestra experience appears twice; we keep once. Also remove "The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience..." duplicate. Also remove "The ASSURE Patient Specialist (APS) conducts patient fitting activities..." duplicate? It appears once; we keep. Also remove "We have an opening in La Mesa, CA. This is a paid per fitting position." keep. Now we need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's craft. Structure:

  About the role

  ... company overview and role overview ...

  But we need to avoid repeating job title. The role overview includes description of ASSURE Patient Specialist. Let's write:

  The Kestra team has over 400 years of experience in the external and internal cardiac medical device markets. Founded in 2014, Kestra unites modern wearable technologies with proven device therapies to deliver high‑quality, technically performant solutions that prioritize patient comfort and dignity.

The APS serves as the local patient care representative to provide effective and efficient patient fittings. This opening is located in La Mesa, CA and is a paid‑per‑fitting position.

  That covers company and role. Now Responsibilities: list essential duties. We need to extract each duty from the ESSENTIAL DUTIES block.

Furthermore, information will only be released internally on a need-to-know basis. All Team Members will not discuss patient cases outside the office or with anyone not employed by this company unless they are directly involved with the patient’s case We could combine confidentiality statements into one duty. Also "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided" maybe benefit. We'll keep as duty? Might be better as benefit. Let's separate: Responsibilities list duties excluding flexibility/pay and confidentiality? Actually confidentiality is a duty/responsibility. We'll include confidentiality as duty. Now Benefits/Pay: we have "Flexibility of work schedule and competitive pay provided". We'll put under Benefits maybe. Now Skills: competencies list.
