Physician - Chief Spinal Cord Injuries and Disorders
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID etc. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes summary about EDRP, qualifications, basic requirements, duties, work schedule, pay, benefits etc.
We need to decide which sections to include based on content.
We have:
- Summary: mentions EDRP eligibility, program details. Could be "About the role" or maybe "Benefits"? It's about EDRP program. Could be a section "Education Debt Reduction Program" but not in allowed headings. Allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to these.
"About the role": could include summary of position, EDRP eligibility, maybe overview.
"Responsibilities": duties list (Administrative, Clinical, Research). Use
- .
"Requirements": maybe basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency training, English proficiency). Could be separate from Qualifications? The posting has "Qualifications" heading and "Basic Requirements". We can combine into "Qualifications" section (allowed) and maybe "Requirements" for other things like preferred experience? But we need to avoid thin sections. Could have one "Qualifications" section covering both basic and preferred.
"Skills": maybe not explicitly listed; could omit if no specific skills.
"Benefits": includes EDRP, paid time off, retirement, insurance, CME reimbursement, malpractice coverage, contract details. Also mention "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package". So we can have Benefits section.
"Pay": mentions "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". Also maybe mention salary range? Not given. So we can include Pay.
"Schedule": mentions "Full-time - schedule to be determined by supervisor". So include Schedule.
We must not create sections with filler like "not specified". So only include sections where we have substantive content.
We need to output HTML fragment only, no /. Use
for each section heading. Use - for lists. Use
for prose.
We must preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include details like EDRP program details: eligibility, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years, former participants ineligible, contact email, etc. Also mention "Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): Learn more" etc.
We need to include the duties list exactly as described, but we can condense into bullet points preserving meaning. Must not lose detail. However we must not invent. We'll need to capture each duty point.
Let's extract duties from the text:

We need to ensure we don't create empty sections.
Now we need to be careful about preserving details exactly, not summarizing away. For bullet points we need to keep the substance but can be concise as long as we don't lose detail. The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." That means we cannot omit details; we must keep all details. So we need to include each piece of
