Preferred Experience repeated again. - Recruitment Incentive (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized for this position Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Authorized for this position - Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases - 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: Traditional federal pension (5 years vesting) and federal 401K with up to 5% in contributions by VA - Insurance: Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care (many federal insurance programs can be carried into retirement) - Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory - CME: Possible $1 -000 per year reimbursement (must be full-time with board certification) - Malpractice: Free liability protection with tail coverage provided - Contract: No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting - Work Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00AM to 4:30PM We need to map to sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements (basic requirements?), Qualifications (maybe same as requirements?), Skills (maybe preferred experience?), Benefits (PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract?), Pay, Schedule. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content for Pay, Schedule, Benefits, Responsibilities, About the role, Requirements/Qualifications, Skills (preferred experience). We need to decide which sections to include. We have "Qualifications" heading: could contain basic requirements and maybe also preferred experience? But we also have "Skills" heading for skills like preferred experience. The instructions: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Skills). They gave list: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use those. We need to include a section only when posting has real specific content for it. So we will include: - About the role: summary paragraph(s) about reporting line, responsibilities overview. - Responsibilities: detailed duties list. - Requirements: basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency, English proficiency). Possibly also include "Proficiency in spoken and written English" as requirement. - Qualifications: maybe include preferred experience? But they said "Qualifications" separate from "Requirements". Usually qualifications include both basic and preferred. However we already used Requirements for basic. Could put preferred experience under Qualifications. Or we could put preferred experience under Skills. The instruction list includes Skills as a separate heading. So we can put preferred experience under Skills. Qualifications could be empty? Better to put preferred experience under Skills, and Qualifications maybe include basic requirements? But we already used Requirements for basic. Let's think: The typical structure: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (basic), Qualifications (preferred), Skills (maybe technical skills), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Since we have preferred experience, we can put that under Qualifications. Skills could be left out if no specific skills beyond experience. But we have "Proficiency in spoken and written English" which is a skill/requirement; could go under Requirements. We'll decide. We need to avoid duplication. Let's assign: - About the role: summary paragraph(s) from Summary. - Responsibilities: the long duties list. - Requirements: basic requirements (US Citizenship, MD/DO degree from VA-approved school, current full unrestricted license, residency training, proficiency in spoken and written English). Also maybe include "Current - full and unrestricted license to practice medicine or surgery in a State - Territory - or Commonwealth of the United States - or in the District of Columbia". That's license. - Qualifications: preferred experience (Chief Medical Officer - Deputy Chief of Staff - Chief of large Clinical Department or service line - or Chief Quality for 3 or more years). Could also include any other qualifications like board certification? Not explicitly stated as requirement but implied via residency leading to eligibility for board certification. But we can keep as is. - Skills: maybe none; but we could include "Proficiency in spoken and written English" as skill, but we already put under Requirements. Could leave Skills empty? Better to omit Skills section if no specific content. The instruction: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it. So if we have no specific skill content, we omit Skills. - Benefits: include PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract (no contract, no restriction). Also maybe mention "Recruitment Incentive (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized" and "Permanent Change of Station (Relocation Assistance): Authorized". Those could be considered benefits as well. We'll include them under Benefits. - Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases" - Schedule: "Monday-Friday 8:00AM to 4:30PM" We must not repeat job title. Must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. We removed. Now format: Use

for each section heading. Use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use

    for prose. We need to decide what is a list vs prose. For About the role: we have a couple sentences; could be

    . For Responsibilities: many items; we can make

    • each duty sentence. For Requirements: list of items; use
      • . For Qualifications: list of preferred experience; maybe
        • . For Benefits: list of items; use
          • . For Pay: maybe

            . For Schedule:

            . We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep exact phrasing? Not necessarily exact but must not lose detail. We'll try to keep the meaning. Let's extract each piece. About the role: From Summary: "The Chief of Staff will report to the Medical Center Director. The COS has specific responsibility to preside over the medical staff and assure clinical excellence - uniform standards of practice - education - and research. The COS is entrusted with many of the VHA clinical and administrative directives to ensure they are appropriately translated into relevant local policies." We can keep that as a paragraph. Responsibilities: The long list after "Duties". Let's break into bullet points. The text includes many sentences separated by spaces. We'll split at each sentence that starts with a capital letter after a period? We'll approximate. List items: - The COS must take an active role in developing and maintaining a good working relationship with the affiliated medical school - recruiting board certified licensed professional staff - ensuring medical staff compliance with agency regulations - overseeing a successful research program - facilitating a culture of continuous process improvement and patient safety - The COS will also serve as professional liaison of the health care field to other VA - federal - community - affiliate - congressional - and constituent organizations - Assures the overall quality - appropriateness - and timeliness of patient care delivered by all members of the medical staff - Directs and oversees the medical staff functions and committees - the medical staff bylaws - and the credentialing and privileging of health care providers - Participates in strategic planning - resource allocation and performance improvement activities - Ensures participation of the medical staff in performance improvement activities - Serves as member of the Executive Leadership team and on a variety of committees and meetings - Ensures patients receive quality care in a timely and courteous manner - Ensures that all patients receive quality - preventive health care through screening - counseling and education - Ensures that all medical staff (ancillary staff - pharmacy - nursing - mental health and medical/surgical providers) are knowledgeable and provide appropriate psychosocial care and counseling to patients - Ensures competence of medical staff and each of its members to provide care to the young - middle - older and geriatric patients served - Encourages the development of and adherence to clinical guidelines for patient populations - Monitors and evaluates clinical practice patterns through the participation in performance improvement - risk management and peer review activities - Reviews all VHA Directives and directs them appropriately through committees and services - Acts as VISN liaison to the medical center - closely communicating with the Medical Center Director and disseminating VISN tasks and responsibilities to the appropriate Medical Center personnel - Assures excellent standards of patient care
