Physician - Gastroenterologist

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: headings

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/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve all substantive info. Remove boilerplate (cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions). Include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g., "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Summary: EDRP eligibility, details about program, eligibility, award up to $200k, eligibility period 1-5 years, former participants ineligible. - Qualifications: Basic requirements: US citizenship, MD/DO degree from VA-approved school, current full unrestricted license, residency training approved by VA, details of approved residencies (three options), exceptions for PRPs, proficiency in spoken/written English, Additional requirement: Board certification or board eligibility in Gastroenterology by ABIM or equivalent, Preferred experience: managing broad spectrum GI diseases outpatient, proficiency in common endoscopic procedures (EGD, colonoscopy, polypectomy), experience with EHR. - Physical Requirements: Complete TB Testing and Immunization evaluations (see VA Directive/Handbook 5019). Might be considered a requirement. - Duties: This is an OPEN CONTINUOUS ANNOUNCEMENT... details about cut-off dates, etc. Then VA offers comprehensive total rewards package: VHA Physician Total Rewards, Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized, Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment): Learn more, EDRP Authorized: Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply for incentive, Contact V21CCOEEDRP@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance. Work Schedule: Monday - Friday and some Saturdays - 7:30am - 4:00pm. 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.

Malpractice: Free liability protection with tail coverage provided. Contract: No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting. - Position location: Spark MMatsunaga VA Medical Center in Honolulu - Hawaii. Staff physician will report directly to Gastroenterology Section Supervisor and Associate Chief of Staff of Specialty Care (ACOS). Provides direct outpatient clinical care for outpatients with gastroenterology problems and consultation to VAPIHCS clinical staff within outpatient clinics at the ACC and CBOCs through face-to-face visits in the clinics including CBOC travel - as well as virtual visits through telehealth or telephone - and e-consults as required. The incumbent provides gastroenterology services to Veterans who reside in a large geographical area including multiple CBOCs (Hawaiian Islands - American Samoa - and Guam). Will be required to travel to the CBOCs located within VAPIHCS. Schedule will be based on identified Veteran needs. Clinical duties include examining patients suffering from GI and liver disorders - such as abdominal pain - diarrhea - constipation - elevated LFT's - hepatitis - and/or cirrhosis. The gastroenterologist may work with primary care physicians on a consulting basis when a patient has symptoms that suggest a GI issue. Examinations for GI patients may include rectal examinations and endoscopy procedures - currently done off-site. The incumbent serves as the GI subject matter expert and provides clinical oversight to the advanced practice registered nurse. Provides guidance - teaching and consultation on staff education and development to the Gastroenterology Service clinical staff as well as teaching to medical staff trainees rotating on the Gastroenterology Service. Protected research time may be provided to the incumbent if they desire to have a program of research. Performs other related duties as assigned by the Gastroenterology Section Supervisor and ACOS SC. We need to decide sections: Possibly "About the role" (summary of position), "Responsibilities" (duties), "Requirements" (basic qualifications), "Qualifications" (additional/preferred), "Benefits" (EDRP, total rewards, PTO, retirement, insurance, CME, malpractice, contract), "Pay" (competitive salary, bonus, increases), "Schedule" (work schedule Monday-Friday some Saturdays 7:30am-4:00pm, travel, based on Veteran needs). However we must only include sections if posting has real specific content. All these have content. But we must avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. Could combine some: maybe "About the role" includes summary and location/reporting. "Responsibilities" includes duties. "Qualifications" includes basic requirements, additional requirements, preferred experience, physical requirements. "Benefits and Compensation" could combine Pay, Benefits, Schedule? But instructions say use headings for specific sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. We could include About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's many but okay if each has substantive content. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID. We must remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. There's no explicit EEO but there is "Former EDRP participants ineligible to apply" which is substantive. Also "Contact V21CCOEEDRP@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance" is contact info; maybe considered application instruction? It's contact for EDRP questions; could be kept as part of Benefits/Education Debt Reduction. Might be okay. We must preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep details like award up to $200k, eligibility period 1-5 years, etc. We need to use

  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for lists we need to wrap in
    • . For prose use

      . We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences. Let's structure:

      About the role

      Summary ...

      Maybe include location and reporting.

      Responsibilities

      • ... each duty as li

      Qualifications

      We could split into Basic Requirements and Additional Requirements and Preferred Experience. Could use subheadings? Not allowed? Only headings allowed are those specific; but we could still use

      for prose and

      • for lists. Could embed subheadings as maybe but not required. Safer to just list items. We need to include physical requirement (TB testing). Also US citizenship, MD/DO degree, license, residency training, proficiency in English, board certification/eligibility in Gastroenterology, preferred experience (managing GI diseases outpatient, endoscopic procedures, EHR). Also note about PRPs exceptions maybe not needed as it's part of basic requirements but could be included. We'll produce a list.

        Benefits

        List: Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) eligibility, award up to $200k, eligibility period 1-5 years, former participants ineligible, Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus) authorized, VHA Physician Total Rewards, Paid Time Off (50-55 days per year breakdown), Retirement (Traditional federal pension 5 years vesting, federal 401K up to 5% VA contribution), Insurance (Federal health/vision/dental/term life/long-term care), CME reimbursement up to $1000 per year (full-time with board certification), Malpractice free liability protection with tail coverage, Contract: No Physician Employment Contract and no significant restriction on moonlighting. Also note about Licensure: 1 full and unrestricted license from any US State or territory (that's a requirement, not benefit). Might be better under Qualifications. Pay: Competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases. Schedule: Monday - Friday and some Saturdays - 7:30am - 4:00pm; schedule based on identified Veteran needs; travel to CBOCs within VAPIHCS. We need to avoid filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. Now produce HTML. We must ensure we don't duplicate content. Let's craft. First, About the role: include summary about EDRP eligibility, location, reporting. Paragraph: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) – a student loan payment reimbursement program. Eligibility requirements per VHA policy apply; award amount (up to $200,000) and eligibility period (one to five years) are determined by the VHA Education Loan Repayment Services program office after review of the EDRP application. Former EDRP participants are ineligible to apply." Then location: "Located at the Spark Matsunaga VA Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii, the staff physician reports directly to the Gastroenterology Section Supervisor and the Associate Chief of Staff of Specialty Care (ACOS)." That's fine. Responsibilities: list duties. We need to capture all duties from the Duties section. Let's extract: - Provides direct outpatient clinical care for outpatients with gastroenterology problems and consultation to VAPIHCS clinical staff within outpatient clinics at the ACC and CBOCs through face-to-face visits in the clinics including CBOC travel - as well as virtual visits through telehealth or telephone - and e-consults as required. - Provides gastroenterology services to Veterans who reside in a large geographical area including multiple CBOCs (Hawaiian Islands - American Samoa - and Guam). - Will be required to travel to the CBOCs located within VAPIHCS. - Schedule will be based on identified Veteran needs. - Clinical duties include examining patients suffering from GI and liver disorders - such as abdominal pain - diarrhea - constipation - elevated LFT's - hepatitis - and/or cirrhosis. - The gastroenterologist may work with primary care physicians on a consulting basis when a patient has symptoms that suggest a GI issue. - Examinations for GI patients may include rectal examinations and endoscopy procedures - currently done off-site. - The incumbent serves as the GI subject matter expert and provides clinical oversight to the advanced practice registered nurse. - Provides guidance - teaching and consultation on staff education and development to the Gastroenterology Service clinical staff as well as teaching to medical staff trainees rotating on the Gastroenterology Service. - Protected research time may be provided to the incumbent if they desire to have a program of research. - Performs other related duties as assigned by the Gastroenterology Section Supervisor and ACOS SC.
