Pharmacy Technician I - Pharmacy Services * Shift Varies
for sections: 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 like requisition #, shift, FTE, on-call, weekends? Those are metadata; we can fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. The instructions: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." So we can include a short paragraph with requisition #, shift, FTE status, on-call, weekends maybe. But we should not create sections for them unless they have real content. They are metadata, not a section. So we can put a
at top with that info. We need sections: About the role (General Summary). Responsibilities (Essential Functions And Responsibilities). Requirements (Knowledge, Skills And Abilities? Actually that includes education, licenses, certifications, experience). Qualifications maybe overlapping. Skills maybe separate. But we need to avoid thin sections. Let's map: - About the role: General Summary paragraph. - Responsibilities: Essential Functions And Responsibilities (long list). Use
- for each duty.
- Requirements: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities section includes age, education, licenses, certifications, preferred experience, math background, ASHP/USP 797, etc. Could be Requirements.
- Qualifications: maybe not needed separate if covered. But we could have Qualifications for licenses/certifications? However instructions: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But we need to follow headings list; we can include only those with real content. Could include Requirements and Skills. Skills could be abilities like accurate, independent worker, communication, cooperates, etc. But those are in Knowledge, Skills And Abilities as well. Might be redundant.
Better: Use sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (includes education, licenses, certifications, experience, skills). Possibly Skills separate if we want to highlight abilities like accurate, independent worker, communication, etc. But that may be thin.
We also have Pay, Schedule, Benefits: not provided. So we must NOT create those sections.
Thus output: a

if we separate. But we must preserve ALL substantive information. So we need to include all details from Knowledge, Skills And Abilities: age, education, licenses, certifications, preferred experience, math background, ASHP/USP 797, accurate independent worker, communication skills, cooperates, etc. Also the preferred experience ordering, etc. Also the advanced job duties (tiers) maybe part of Requirements? They are advancement requirements; could be included under Requirements or maybe a separate section like "Advancement Requirements". But not in headings list. Could fold into Requirements as well. We need to ensure we don't miss any bullet points. Let's extract the responsibilities list: It's a long paragraph with many duties separated by periods. We need to split into list items. We'll parse each sentence that starts with a verb. We'll create - for each duty.
Similarly for requirements: we need to list each requirement.
Let's copy the text and manually create list items.
First, metadata paragraph: "Requisition #: req12680 Shift: Varies FTE status: 1 On-call: No Weekends: Yes". We'll put that in a
. Now About the role: The General Summary paragraph: "The pharmacy technician performs the full range of technical and clerical level duties to assist the Pharmacist in the formulation, preparation, maintenance of patient records, dispensing and delivery of medications and pharmaceutical supplies. The Pharmacy Tech works under the direct supervision of the Pharmacist." We'll put that in

(This is a heading for advancement; maybe we treat as part of Requirements? But it's under Responsibilities? Actually it's after the list, seems like a separate section about advancement. We'll treat it under Requirements or maybe a separate "Advancement" but not in headings list. We'll include under Requirements as part of qualifications. We'll need to include the advanced job duties details as part of Requirements? They are specific to advancement tiers. Could be considered part of Requirements (qualifications for advancement). We'll include them under Requirements as sub-items. Now Requirements: Knowledge, Skills And Abilities section. Let's extract: - Must be 18 years of age or older. - Education: High school graduate or equivalent required. College courses or completion of a higher degree preferred. - Licenses: One of the following license types are required (in order of preference): Michigan Pharmacy Technician License, Michigan Pharmacy Technician License – Limited, Michigan Pharmacy Technician License – Temporary. The temporary license allows an applicant to begin employment while preparing to take the examination required for full licensure. Full licensure must be obtained within the 210 day temporary licensure period. - Certifications: Pass certified pharmacy technician examination from either of the following: Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) – Preferred, or National Healthcareer Association (NHA). Note: Pharmacy technicians that have not completed the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board (PTCB) certification program MUST obtain this certification within 1 year or 3 attempts from date of hire. - Preferred experience: (In order of importance): 1-2 years of hospital pharmacy experience or 1-2 years of retail pharmacy experience. - Good math/basic algebra background mandatory; as obtained through formal education or prior experience as a pharmacy technician. - ASHP / USP 797 based certification in aseptic technique preferred. - Is an accurate, independent worker, possesses good communication skills, and, cooperates and takes direction from others. Also the advanced job duties (tiers) maybe part of Requirements. We'll create
- for each bullet.
Now we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. We'll have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements. That's three sections.
We must not include Pay, Schedule, Benefits.
Now produce HTML fragment.
We need to ensure proper nesting:
- .
Now Requirements
- with each bullet.
We need to include the advanced job duties details as part of Requirements maybe as a nested list? Could be separate
Advancement
but not allowed headings list? It's not in the list but we could still include if we think it's substantive. However instructions: "usefor 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 only use those headings? It says "use
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." Likely they expect only those headings. So we should not add other headings like Advancement. So we must fold that content into one of the allowed headings, likely Requirements. Thus we will include advanced job duties under Requirements as sub-items. Now we need to ensure we don't miss any responsibilities: we listed 51 items. Let's double-check we didn't miss any after "Completion of the following advanced job duties by job code." That's a heading for a list of tiers. We'll include that as part of Requirements. Now
