Physician - Gastroenterology (Assistant Chief)
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose. Remove boilerplate. Include sections only when real specific content.
We need to parse content:
Summary: "The Assistant Section Chief for Gastroenterology at the Nashville Campus holds a dual appointment with the VA TN Valley Health System and the Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. This physician leader supports both clinical excellence and administrative stewardship within the Gastroenterology Section - collaborating closely with the Section Chief and other clinical leaders."
That's prose.
Qualifications: includes basic requirements and additional requirements. We need to preserve all substantive info. Likely we can put under a section "Qualifications". Use
Qualifications
then maybe for list items? The qualifications are long paragraphs with many details. Could break into for prose and
for list of specific requirements? The instruction: Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to identify lists. The qualifications include bullet-like items: United States Citizenship, Degree of doctor..., Current - full and unrestricted license..., Residency Training..., Proficiency in spoken and written English, Additional Requirement: (a)... (b)... (c)... Preferred Experience: ... etc. Those could be list items.
We should extract each requirement as
- . Also "Preferred Experience" items.
Duties: "DESCRIPTION OF DUTIES:" then list of duties. Could be
.
Pay/Benefits: The posting includes "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package VHA Physician Total Rewards 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 This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program (EDRP) - a student loan payment reimbursement program You must meet specific eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit your EDRP application within four months of appointment Program Approval - award amount (up to $200 -000) & 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 ineligible to apply"
We need to include Pay/Benefits sections only if posting actually states them. It does state pay, PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, EDRP. So we should include a Benefits section (maybe "Benefits") and possibly Pay section? The instruction: Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" section. But they said use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can choose which to include. Since we have both pay and benefits details, we could have a "Pay" subsection and a "Benefits" subsection. But they said prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. Might combine into "Compensation and Benefits". However the allowed headings list includes both Pay and Benefits; we can use either. I'd create a "Benefits" section that includes pay details as part of benefits. Or create "Pay" and "Benefits" separate but that may be thin. I'd combine into "Compensation and Benefits" but that's not in the list; maybe better to use "Benefits" and include pay details there.
Schedule: The posting includes "Work Schedule: 7:30 a.mto 4:00 p.m. - Monday-Friday - ADHOC may be approved at discretion of supervisor". So we need a Schedule section.
Also maybe "About the role" could be the summary. Use About the role
with prose.
Responsibilities: Could be duties. But we already have duties; we could label as "Responsibilities". However we also have a "Duties" section in the posting. The instruction: Use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can map summary to About the role, qualifications to Qualifications, duties to Responsibilities, benefits to Benefits, schedule to Schedule.
We should not include Requirements if we already have Qualifications; but we could include Requirements as a separate section for basic requirements? Might be redundant. Better to have Qualifications cover both basic and additional. So we skip Requirements.
Skills: Not explicitly listed; we could omit.
Thus sections: About the role, Qualifications, Responsibilities, Benefits, Schedule.
Now we need to extract content and format.
About the role: prose from summary.
Qualifications: need to list items. Let's extract bullet points:
- 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:
1) 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
2) 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
3) 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
- Additional Requirement: Successful applicants must:
(a) be board certified in Internal Medicine and/or an ABIM Specialty Board
(b) have documented experience supervising and teaching medical students - residents and fellows - and credentials to satisfy the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine faculty appointment requirements
(c) qualify for an appointment as a faculty member in the Department of Medicine at Vanderbilt University at least the level of Assistant - Associate or Full Professor and have national stature in the field
- Preferred Experience:
Experience in teaching and supervising residents - fellows - and other trainees
prior experience in academic appointment and scholarly activity preferred
Board eligibility/certification in Gastroenterology and/or Hepatology
5 + years of demonstrated competence in performing upper and lower GI endoscopic procedures
Experience in quality improvement initiatives
We need to preserve all substantive info; we can keep as list items, maybe grouping subpoints.
We'll output - for each top-level bullet; within li we can have
or just text. Probably just text.
Responsibilities: duties list:
- Provide comprehensive internal medicine and gastroenterology care to Veterans in both inpatient and outpatient settings
- Perform endoscopic procedures and oversee the full spectrum of GI consultative services
- Devote approximately 75% of time to direct clinical activities - including performing and supervising upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies - seeing referred patients in clinic - and managing inpatient GI consults
- Serve as preceptor for nurse practitioners - physician assistants - fellows - residents - and medical students as assigned - fostering an academic environment supporting both learning and clinical advancement
- Assist Section Chief in quality assurance and quality improvement initiatives within Gastroenterology - including oversight of service recovery and resolution of patient concerns
- Maintain robust communication with Vanderbilt University Medical Center to support collaborative physician staffing and optimize the resident/student education program
- Function in a leadership capacity when delegated - including overseeing assigned administrative matters and providing intermittent administrative coverage in the Section Chief's absence
- The Assistant Section Chief will assist with evaluating and supporting the attending physicians within the Gastroenterology Section as directed by the Section Chief
- Responsible for on boarding - mentoring - and evaluating advanced practice providers and trainees assigned to Gastroenterology
- Works with other clinical Service Chiefs to coordinate optimal interdisciplinary care
We'll list as
- .
Benefits: include pay, PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, EDRP details.
We'll list as
- each benefit.
Schedule: prose: "Work Schedule: 7:30 a.mto 4:00 p.m. - Monday-Friday - ADHOC may be approved at discretion of supervisor". Note there's a typo "a.mto". We'll keep as is.
