Physician Assistant

We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: 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 not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like EEO, etc. Must not include sections with placeholder like "commensurate with experience". We have content: Description (about the organization) could go under About the role? The description includes founding, services, etc. That's about the organization, not role. But we can put under About the role maybe. The summary describes role. Could be About the role. Responsibilities: we have many bullet points under Hospital/Surgical Center Responsibilities and Office. We'll list them as

• . Requirements: educational requirements etc. Also maybe "Work Environment" could be part of Requirements? But we have a separate section for Work Environment? Not in list of allowed headings. Could put under Requirements or Qualifications. The allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We have Qualifications And Experience section. That's Qualifications. Also we have Requirements (Educational Requirements). Also we have Skills? Not explicit but we could extract skills from Qualifications (e.g., ability to make independent decisions, etc.) Could put under Skills. But we need to avoid thin sections. Perhaps combine Qualifications and Skills? But we must follow headings only if content exists. We could put Qualifications (including experience, certifications) and Skills (abilities). However we have many ability statements in Qualifications And Experience; they could be considered Qualifications. Might be okay to put them under Qualifications and not have Skills section. Pay: we have salary range $102,000-$145,400. Also Base salary offers may vary based on factors. So we have Pay. Benefits: we have benefits list. Schedule: not mentioned. No schedule info. So we omit Schedule. About the role: we have description of organization and summary of role. Could combine. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, equal opportunity, etc. Also remove navigation, cookie, legal, duplicated lines. Also remove "Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, LLC is an equal opportunity employer..." etc. Also remove "Base salary offers for this position may vary based on factors such as location, skills and relevant experience." That's part of Pay? It's about pay variation; we can keep in Pay section as note. We must preserve all substantive information. So we need to include all responsibilities, requirements, qualifications, benefits, pay. Let's extract. About the role: Could include the description paragraph about IBJI and the summary about PA role. Let's combine. Responsibilities: list all bullet points. We need to format as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So responsibilities as list. Requirements: educational requirements etc. Also maybe "Work Environment" could be considered Requirements? But we can include under Requirements as list. Qualifications: list of qualifications and experience (including experience, abilities). Could be list. Skills: maybe not needed if we put abilities under Qualifications. But we have separate "Qualifications And Experience" heading; we can treat that as Qualifications. Then we have no Skills section. Benefits: list. Pay: include salary range and note about variation. Let's craft. We must not include headings with empty content. So we will output:

    No Schedule. Now extract content. About the role: Combine description and summary. Description: "Founded in 1991, IBJI is the largest orthopedic group practice in Illinois.

Our clinical services include advanced MRI imaging, pain management, non-surgical and surgical treatment plans, rheumatology, physical therapy, occupational therapy, wellness, and sports and sports training.
