Physician - Compensation and Pension
for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. However we need to map content to appropriate headings. The posting has Summary (maybe About the role), Qualifications (basic requirements), Duties (Responsibilities), Preferred Experience (maybe Skills or Qualifications), Benefits (VA offers...), Pay and Schedule within benefits.
We should not create sections with filler. So we need to include sections that have content.
We have:
- Summary: "The Compensation and Pension (C&P) physician performs history and physical examinations - and evaluates appropriate diagnostic studies - and acts within the guidelines and quality indicators set forth by the Office of Disability and Medical Assessment (DMA) - C&P Service - and the Veterans Health Service (VHS)." That's about the role. So we can use About the role
with
that summary. - Qualifications: includes basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency training, proficiency in English) plus maybe "Preferred Experience: Board Certification...". We could put Requirements section for basic requirements, and Skills for preferred experience? But we have headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. The instruction says use those headings for section headings. We need to decide mapping. We have "Qualifications" heading in the posting. So we can use
Qualifications
for the qualifications block (basic requirements). Then maybeSkills
for preferred experience (Board Certification). Or we could combine. But we must not create sections with filler. So we need actual content. We also have Duties: list of duties. UseResponsibilities
with- .
Benefits: VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package with details: Pay, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract, Work Schedule. So we can have
Benefits
with- each benefit. Then we might also have separate Pay and Schedule sections if we want to extract those specifics, but the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we can keep Benefits as one section containing all those details, including Pay and Schedule within it. However we have headings Pay and Schedule available; but we should not create them unless posting actually states them. It does state Pay and Work Schedule within benefits. But we could still keep them inside Benefits; not required to split. The instruction: "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So better to keep Benefits as one section.
Thus sections: About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Skills (preferred experience), Benefits.
Check if any other sections like "About the role" maybe we could call it "About the role". Good.
Now we need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. Must keep all details from the posting, but we can format as HTML.
We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting does not have those except maybe some repeated lines like "Preferred Experience: Board Certification..." appears twice (once in Qualifications and again at end). We need to preserve but not duplicate? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." It doesn't say we must deduplicate duplicates. But we should avoid duplicated lines as boilerplate. The duplicate "Preferred Experience: Board Certification..." appears in Qualifications section and again near the end before benefits. It's likely a duplicate; we should include it once to avoid duplication. We'll include it under Skills.
Also "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" appears before benefits list; we keep that as intro.
Now produce HTML.
We need to wrap content in appropriate tags.

About the role
The Compensation and Pension (C&P) physician performs history and physical examinations - and evaluates appropriate diagnostic studies - and acts within the guidelines and quality indicators set forth by the Office of Disability and Medical Assessment (DMA) - C&P Service - and the Veterans Health Service (VHS).
Qualifications
To qualify for this position - you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements (if applicable) listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met. 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.
- United States Citizenship: Non-citizens may only be appointed when it is not possible to recruit qualified citizens in accordance with VA Policy
- Degree of doctor of medicine or an equivalent degree resulting from a course of education in allopathic medicine or osteopathic medicine
- The degree must have been obtained from one of the schools approved by the Department of Veterans Affairs for the year in which the course of study was completed
- 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
- Residency Training: Physicians must have completed residency training - approved by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs in an accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification
- (NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are:
- Those approved by the accrediting bodies for graduate medical education - the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) or American Osteopathic Association (AOA) - in the list published for the year the residency - or fellowship if applicable - was completed
- One year of post medical school training (internship - first year of residency - or transitional year residency) approved by ACGME or AOA followed by two years of post-training independent practice (performing under a full and unrestricted license) in the United States
- Non-US residency training programs followed by a minimum of three years of verified independent practice in the United States (performing under a full and unrestricted license) performing duties related to the position they are applying for (United States fellowships would be creditable towards this requirement) - which the local Medical Staff Executive Committee deems to have provided the applicant with appropriate professional training and believes has exposed the Physician to an appropriate range of patient care experiences
- Exceptions: Residents currently enrolled in ACGME/AOA accredited residency training programs and who would otherwise meet the basic requirements for appointment are eligible to be appointed as ""Physician Resident Providers"" (PRPs)
- PRPs must be fully licensed physicians (i.e. - not a training license) and may only be appointed on an intermittent basis
- PRPs are not considered independent practitioners and will not be privileged
- rather - they are to have a ""scope of practice"" that allows them to perform certain restricted duties under supervision
- Additionally - surgery residents in gap years may also be appointed as PRPs
- In rare and unusual circumstances - the Facility Director can submit a memo to the VISN Director through the VISN Chief Medical Officer - who may approve requests for reasonable exceptions to the residency training requirement for Physicians whose composite record of experience - accomplishments - performance - and qualifications warrant such action
- Proficiency in spoken and written English
- (NOTE: VA physicians involved in academic training programs may be required to be board certified for faculty status.) Approved residencies are:
for prose and
- for lists.
The qualifications block includes many sentences; we could break into
for each bullet. Simplify: Use
Qualifications
then- each requirement. But some requirements are long sentences with subpoints; we can keep them as
- with internal
or
- if needed.
Given complexity, we can produce a straightforward representation.
Let's extract the qualifications text:
"To qualify for this position - you must meet the basic requirements as well as any additional requirements (if applicable) listed in the job announcement. Applicants pending the completion of training or license requirements may be referred and tentatively selected but may not be hired until all requirements are met.

We could put Preferred Experience under Skills.
Now
