We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if content exists. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to extract content. Job description includes: Job Summary, Essential Duties And Responsibilities, HIPAA Requirements, Knowledge, Skills And Abilities, Education And Experience, Behavioral Competencies, Physical Requirements, Working Environment/Physical Hazards, Equipment Used, Immunization, etc. We need to map to allowed headings: About the role (maybe job summary), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (maybe education/experience?), Qualifications (maybe knowledge/skills?), Skills (maybe knowledge/skills?), Benefits (none), Pay (none), Schedule (none). We should only include sections with real specific content. We have no explicit pay or schedule info. Benefits not mentioned. So we omit those sections. We need to include About the role: could be Job Summary paragraph. Responsibilities: list of duties. Requirements: maybe Education And Experience? Or "Requirements" could include education, experience, age, driver's license, etc. Qualifications: maybe Knowledge, Skills And Abilities? Or Behavioral Competencies? The spec says we can have both Skills and Qualifications sections; we need to decide. We have Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (language, driving record, etc.) and Behavioral Competencies (accountability, etc.) and Physical Requirements, Working Environment, Equipment Used, Immunization. We could put Knowledge, Skills And Abilities under Skills section. Behavioral Competencies maybe under Qualifications? Or we could combine. But we must not create empty sections. Provide substantive content. Let's structure:

About the role

Job Summary paragraph.

Responsibilities

  • ... list items ...

Requirements

  • Over 21 years old
  • High School Diploma or equivalent required
  • Prior experience as pharmacy clerk in busy environment working with patients and with professional and technical staff, including ordering, returns, and stocking preferred
  • Valid Oregon driver’s license, able to become part of Center’s insurance policy
  • Proof of liability insurance (must submit name, address and policy of insurance company)
  • Have access to a reliable vehicle and/or be eligible to use company vehicle
  • Acceptable driving record
  • Proficiency in English and Spanish, both spoken and written language required
But note: proficiency in language is also under Knowledge, Skills And Abilities. Could be under Skills. Maybe better: Requirements: education/experience/age/license/vehicle. Skills: language proficiency, communication, etc. Qualifications: behavioral competencies? Hmm. Let's read spec: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple of those. We need to decide what goes where. Typically: Requirements = minimum qualifications (education, experience, certifications). Qualifications = preferred qualifications? Skills = specific abilities. We have Knowledge, Skills And Abilities (language, driving record, etc.) which could be Skills. Behavioral Competencies could be Qualifications. Physical Requirements maybe under Requirements? But we could also put under Qualifications? Not sure. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's create sections: About the role (Job Summary) Responsibilities (Essential Duties And Responsibilities) Requirements (Education And Experience, age, license, vehicle, insurance) Skills (Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: language proficiency, communication, etc.) Qualifications (Behavioral Competencies) Maybe also Physical Requirements and Working Environment could be under Requirements? But they are not exactly requirements; they are physical demands. Could be under Qualifications? Might be better to add a section "Physical Requirements" but not allowed heading. So we need to fit into allowed headings. Could put under Requirements as bullet points. Similarly Working Environment/Physical Hazards could be under Requirements. Equipment Used could be under Skills? Or maybe under Qualifications. Immunization requirement could be under Requirements. Let's try to capture all. We'll create:

About the role

[Job Summary paragraph]

Responsibilities

    list of duties

Requirements

  • Over 21 years old
  • High School Diploma or equivalent required
  • Prior experience as pharmacy clerk in busy environment working with patients and with professional and technical staff, including ordering, returns, and stocking preferred
  • Valid Oregon driver’s license, able to become part of Center’s insurance policy
  • Proof of liability insurance (must submit name, address and policy of insurance company)
  • Have access to a reliable vehicle and/or be eligible to use company vehicle
  • Acceptable driving record
  • Proficiency in English and Spanish, both spoken and written language required
  • Ability to maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA requirements
  • Ability to perform physical demands: standing/walking up to 100%, lifting/carrying up to 10% frequently 5-20 lbs, infrequent 20-40 lbs, driving/sitting up to 70%, stooping, bending, reaching frequently, occasional step stool use, typing, reading for extended periods
  • Ability to work in well-lighted, ventilated environment with potential exposure to drug vapors/particles, possible indirect exposure to bloodborne pathogens, possible exposure to hazardous chemicals
  • Ability to operate office equipment, pharmacy software, POS, clinic vehicles, pharmacy equipment, electronic ordering device
  • Must meet immunization requirements as stated in VGMHC’s immunization policy and state/federal guidelines
But we duplicated language proficiency; also we included HIPAA etc. We might also include Knowledge, Skills And Abilities as Skills section: but we already included language proficiency etc. Could split. Better: Keep Requirements as education/experience/age/license/vehicle/insurance. Skills as language proficiency, communication, technical abilities (computer, pharmacy software, POS, etc.). Qualifications as behavioral competencies. Physical requirements and working environment could be under Requirements as well (they are requirements). Immunization also requirement. Thus we have three sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Skills, Qualifications. We must not create empty sections; all have content. Let's draft. About the role: Use the Job Summary paragraph: "The Pharmacy Clerk/Courier is hybrid by nature and workload may vary at the discretion of the pharmacy manager and pharmacy operational needs. The Pharmacy Clerk assists the Pharmacist to communicate with VG patients and provide excellent customer service. This position answers non-professional phone questions, cashiers, stocks medications, sends and receives drug orders, participates in inventory counts, pulls outdated stock, works with mailing prescriptions including packaging, addressing, and mailing, curbside delivery and assists with cleaning the pharmacy." We can keep that as a paragraph. Responsibilities: list all essential duties bullet points. We need to extract list from Essential Duties And Responsibilities paragraph. It's a long sentence with many duties separated by periods. We'll break into bullet points. Let's list: - Communicate with patients politely and discreetly, clarify questions and refer any medication related questions to the pharmacist. - Assist pharmacist with non-clinical patient communication needs, for example, patient’s literacy level, comfort with issue, etc. - Verify identity of person picking up prescriptions. - Cover other pharmacy clerk positions at other sites on a temporary basis as needed. - Maintain security of the work area making sure no personnel in pharmacy and it is locked when pharmacist not present. - May pull expired medications off shelves when directed. - May assist with inventory of drugs in the pharmacy and maintain inventory by ordering drugs as needed. - Keep IMP meds and expired meds separated. - Contact patients as required. - Work as cashier using Point of Sale system. - Enter patient demographics and billing information into the computer. - Accept refill requests by prescription number. - File prescriptions in the pharmacy. - Assist with curbside delivery and mailing prescriptions as needed. - Transport filled medication prescriptions to the patient. - Responsible for the timely transportation of filled medication prescriptions to and from the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center Pharmacy in Cornelius and other sites including Beaverton, Hillsboro, McMinnville, and Newberg. - Serve as courier to other VG sites. - Responsible for the timely transportation of other medical equipment, interoffice mail, supplies, medical charts or miscellaneous on daily basis. - Maintenance and upkeep of vehicle. - Responsible for maintenance schedule for the vehicle (i.e. oil change; basic routine maintenance, etc.) and alerting management of maintenance issues. - Responsible for the daily upkeep of the vehicle (i.e. cleaning out vehicle, charging or refueling, checking air, oil, and all other basic fluids). - Keep vehicle in a “ready to go” basis at all times. - Maintain calendar of scheduled vehicle care. - Load products and materials for delivery into delivery vehicle in a safe and orderly fashion. - Maintain full compliance with all Federal, State and Local laws and regulations. - Perform other duties as assigned by the Pharmacy Supervisor, Pharmacy Manager, Pharmacy Director, Medical Director, or Executive Director. Also HIPAA Requirements could be separate but we could include under Requirements or Skills. But we have not used a separate heading for HIPAA; we could incorporate into Requirements as bullet: "Must comply with HIPAA requirements, including accessing PHI for transporting prescriptions and charts, applying minimum necessary standard." We'll add that. Now Skills: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: proficiency in English and Spanish both spoken and written required; effective communication; valid Oregon driver’s license; ability to become part of Center’s insurance policy; proof of liability insurance; access to reliable vehicle; acceptable driving record; ability to type; ability to read for extended periods; ability to use pharmacy software, databases, word processing; telephone, fax, copier, printer, scanner; cash register/POS; clinic vehicles; pharmacy equipment; electronic ordering device. But many of these overlap with requirements. To avoid duplication, we can separate: Requirements: education, experience, age, license, vehicle, insurance, immunization, physical demands, working environment, compliance. Skills: language proficiency, communication, technical skills (computer, pharmacy software, POS, etc.), ability to type/read. Qualifications: Behavioral Competencies list. Let's craft. Requirements bullets: - Over 21 years old - High School Diploma or equivalent required - Prior experience as pharmacy clerk in busy environment working with patients and with professional and technical staff, including ordering, returns, and stocking preferred - Valid Oregon driver’s license, able to become part of Center’s insurance policy - Proof of liability insurance (must submit name, address and policy of insurance company) - Have access to a reliable vehicle and/or be eligible to use company vehicle - Acceptable driving record - Ability to maintain confidentiality and comply with HIPAA requirements (including accessing PHI for transporting prescriptions and charts, applying minimum necessary standard) - Ability to meet physical demands: standing/walking up to 100%; lifting/carrying up to 10% frequently 5‑20 lbs, infrequent 20‑40 lbs; driving/sitting up to 70%; stooping, bending, reaching frequently; occasional step stool use; typing; reading for extended periods - Ability to work in well‑lighted, ventilated environment with potential exposure to drug vapors/particles, possible indirect exposure to bloodborne pathogens, possible exposure to hazardous chemicals - Must meet immunization requirements as stated in VGMHC’s immunization policy and state/federal guidelines Skills bullets: - Proficiency in English and Spanish, both spoken and written - Effective communication skills - Ability to type and read for extended periods - Competence with office equipment: computer, pharmacy software, databases, word processing; telephone,
