Physician - Anatomic Pathology Section Chief

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings where content exists. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have summary about EDRP eligibility. That could be under Benefits? Or maybe "Benefits" includes EDRP. Also "Pay" includes competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases. "Schedule": Monday-Friday 8:00AM-4:30PM. "Qualifications": includes basic requirements, citizenship, degree, license, residency training, English proficiency, etc. Also "Preferred Experience" maybe part of Qualifications. "Responsibilities": duties list. "Skills": maybe not explicit; we could omit if no specific skills list. "About the role": maybe summary? Could use "About the role" for summary paragraph about EDRP eligibility. But we need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder text. We have content for: - About the role: summary about EDRP eligibility. Could be placed there. - Responsibilities: duties list (leadership & management, clinical responsibilities, education & training, QA & PI, R&D, interdisciplinary collaboration, administrative responsibilities). That's substantive. - Requirements: maybe basic requirements? But we also have Qualifications section. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we have both Requirements and Qualifications. We need to decide what goes where. Typically Requirements = basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency). Qualifications = preferred experience, etc. We'll split. - Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could omit if no specific skills. - Benefits: EDRP info, paid time off, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, etc. Also maybe mention "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package". We'll include Benefits. - Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases. - Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00AM-4:30PM. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Already removed. We must preserve all substantive information. Need to include details like EDRP eligibility, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years, former EDRP participants ineligible, contact email. Also mention "Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): Learn more". Also "EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive". Also contact. Also include "Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year (26 days of annual leave - 13 days of sick leave - 11 paid Federal holidays per year and possible 5 day paid absence for CME)". Retirement, insurance, licensure, CME reimbursement, malpractice, contract, etc. Also include "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package". Might be generic but we can keep as part of Benefits. We need to format lists with

  We must not include any markdown fences. Just raw HTML. Check for any placeholder text like "commensurate with experience" - none. Check for any duplicated lines - we avoided. Check for any boilerplate - we omitted EEO etc. Check for any missing info: we included EDRP details, contact, etc. We included "Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): Learn more" - we captured as part of EDRP bullet. We included "Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive" - captured. We included "Contact vhaedrpprogramsupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance" - captured. We included "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" - captured. We included "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): May be available for highly qualified candidates" - we omitted because not specific? It says "May be available for highly qualified candidates" - that's somewhat vague but still substantive? It says may be available. Might be considered placeholder? It's not a guarantee but it's info. The instruction: never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). "May be available for highly qualified candidates" is somewhat vague but still info. Might be okay to include under Benefits? Could add a bullet: "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign‑on Bonus): May be available for highly qualified candidates". However we already have Benefits section; we could add that bullet. It's not a guarantee but it's info. I'd include to preserve all substantive info. Also "Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Not authorized" and "Appraised Value Offer (AVO): Not authorized" - these are specifics (not authorized). Should we include? They are substantive (states not authorized). The instruction says include section only when posting has real, specific content for it. This is specific content (not authorized). So we should include under Benefits maybe. We also have "Learn more" link for EDRP - we didn't include a link; we could add a link placeholder but we don't have URL. Could just mention "Learn more" as text. We also have "Physical Requirements" - we included under Qualifications. We also have "Reference: For more information on this qualification standard - please visit https://www.va.gov/ohrm/QualificationStandards/" - we included as link. We also have "Light lifting 15-44 pounds..." etc - included. We also have "near vision correctable at 13"" to 16"" to Jaeger 1 to 4" - we included. We also have "far vision correctable in one eye up to 20/20 and to 20/40 in the other" - included. We also have "both eyes required" - included. We also have "depth perception required" - included. We also have "ability to distinguish basic colors" - included. We also have "ability to distinguish shades of colors" - included. We also have "Proficiency in spoken and written English" - included. We also have "Currently employed physician(s) in VA who met the requirements for appointment under the previous qualification standard at the time of their initial appointment are deemed to have met the basic requirements of the occupation." - we didn't include that. It's a specific statement about current VA physicians. Should include under Requirements maybe as a note. We also have "Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may
