Physician - Cardiology

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes summary, duties, qualifications, benefits (pay, schedule, etc). We must not repeat job title as heading. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to include sections only if posting has real specific content. We have summary: "The Mann-Grandstaff VA Healthcare System is dedicated to the delivery & continuity of high quality patient care. The Cardiologist is responsible for providing direct clinical care to the Veteran population & functioning as an integral member." That's about the role. Could be "About the role". Also "Recruitment/Relocation Incentive: Authorized This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP)." That's maybe Benefits or Incentives. Also "Work Schedule: Monday-Friday - 8:00am-4:30pm (Compressed schedule may be authorized) Telework: Ad-Hoc". That's Schedule. Also "Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". That's Pay. Also benefits list: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract. That's Benefits. Qualifications: Basic Requirements and Additional Requirement. That's Qualifications. Responsibilities: Duties section includes many bullet-like sentences. We'll put under Responsibilities. Skills? Not explicitly listed; maybe not needed. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. Remove duplicated lines. We must preserve all substantive info. So we need to include all details from summary, duties, qualifications, work schedule, pay, benefits, recruitment/relocation incentive, EDRP. We must not create sections with placeholder text. So we will include sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements? Actually we have Qualifications separate. Could combine Requirements and Qualifications? The instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can include Requirements if there is content distinct from Qualifications. The posting has "Basic Requirements" and "Additional Requirement". That's qualifications. Could treat that as Qualifications. Requirements maybe not needed. But we could put Requirements as a heading and include citizenship, degree, license, residency training, English proficiency, etc. Then Qualifications could be additional? However they said "Qualifications" heading for qualifications. Might be redundant. Safer to follow typical: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Also maybe Requirements not needed. But they said "Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." That's examples, not mandatory to use all. We'll include those that have content. Thus sections: - About the role (summary) - Responsibilities (duties) - Qualifications (basic requirements + additional) - Benefits (list of benefits) - Pay (pay info) - Schedule (work schedule + telework) - Possibly Recruitment/Relocation Incentive could be part of Benefits or separate? Could be under Benefits as bullet. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. We must output only HTML fragment. Let's craft. We'll need

• for lists. For About the role: a

  with the summary sentences. Responsibilities: we have many duties sentences; we can make a

  • each duty. Qualifications: we have basic requirements list; we can make
    • each requirement. Additional requirement: fellowship, certifications. Benefits: list items: Paid Time Off details, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract, Recruitment/Relocation Incentive (Authorized), Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) authorized, maybe note former EDRP participants ineligible.

      with Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases. Schedule:

      with Work Schedule: Monday-Friday - 8:00am-4:30pm (Compressed schedule may be authorized) Telework: Ad-Hoc. We must preserve all substantive info: also mention "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" maybe as intro to Benefits. Also mention "VHA Physician Total Rewards" maybe as heading? Not needed. Also mention "Contact VHA.ELRSProgramSupport@va.gov - - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance". That's contact info; maybe include under Benefits as note. Also mention "Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive". Keep. Also mention "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives: Authorized". Keep.

Also mention "Contact VHA.ELRSProgramSupport@va.gov - - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance". Keep. Also mention "Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory". Already in qualifications but also appears under Benefits? Actually under Benefits they list Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory. That's a benefit? It's more like requirement but appears under Benefits section. We'll include it under Benefits as a bullet. Also mention "CME: Possible $1 -000 per year reimbursement (must be full-time with board certification)". Note formatting: "$1 -000" maybe typo for $1,000. We'll keep as "$1,000". We'll preserve as written? Might keep "$1 -000". Better to keep as "$1,000"? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Changing format could be considered altering. Safer to keep exactly as written: "$1 -000". But that looks odd. However it's from the text: "Possible $1 -000 per year reimbursement". We'll keep that exact string. Also mention "Malpractice: Free liability protection with tail coverage provided". Keep. Also mention "Contract: No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting". Keep. Now craft HTML. We'll need to escape & as &? In HTML, we can keep & as is? Usually need to escape. The summary includes "&". We'll replace with &. Also "Veteran population & functioning". We'll escape. Let's produce. Structure:
