with- each duty.
Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements, Preferred Experience, etc. We'll put under
Qualifications
with subpoints maybe as- . Must preserve all substantive info.
We must not repeat job title. No Job ID. Remove boilerplate like EEO etc. Not present.
We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present.
We need to preserve all substantive info: include EDRP eligibility details, program approval, award amount up to $200,000, eligibility period one to five years, former EDRP participants ineligible, etc. Also mention that you must meet eligibility requirements per VHA policy and submit EDRP application within four months of appointment. Also mention contact email.
Also mention "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" etc.
We need to include Pay section: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". Also maybe mention "Paid Time Off: 50-55 days...". That's benefits.
Schedule: Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm.
We need to ensure we don't duplicate content. Use
for prose,
- for lists.
Let's structure:
About the Role
maybe not needed because we have summary about EDRP? Could be "About the role" but we have no explicit role description besides duties. Might combine summary into About the role? The instruction: usefor section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can include About the role if we have content. The summary about EDRP is more about benefit/incentive. Could be placed under Benefits. But we could also have About the role with a brief paragraph describing the position: "This position is eligible for the Education Debt Reduction Program...". That seems like a benefit though. But we can still put under About the role: a paragraph describing the role and EDRP eligibility. However the instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it". The posting does have content about EDRP eligibility, so we could put that under Benefits or About the role. Which is more appropriate? The EDRP is a benefit/incentive. So Benefits section is appropriate. Thus we may omit About the role if no other content. But we could still include About the role with a brief description: "The Ralph H Johnson VA Hospital is recruiting for a full-time Physician for a vacancy in Geriatrics..." That's from later in the posting. That is role description. So we can put that under About the role. Let's extract that: "The Ralph HJohnson VA Hospital is recruiting for a full-time Physician for a vacancy in Geriatrics within Service-line of Geriatrics and Extended CarePrevious experience in Geriatrics is highly desirablePhysician must be Geriatric Medicine Fellowship trained and board certified or board eligible for GeriatricsGeriatrician Physician will be assigned to the Geriatrics ACE (Acute Care for the Elderly) service and provide consultations/evaluations and care for inpatients with a variety of Geriatric conditions in the setting of inpatient care unitsGeriatrician will be assigned to provide care for Veterans in Outpatient Geriatric Clinics-to include ACE follow up - GIVE (Geriatric Interdisciplinary Veteran's Evaluation) Clinic and will assist in expansion of Geriatrics outpatient clinicsProvides oversight to Medical University of South Carolina medical trainees rotating with service" That's role description. So About the role can contain that. Now Responsibilities: list of duties from "Job Requirements/Clinical Functions:" bullet list. Let's extract each duty: - Responds to ACE unit inpatient Geriatrics Care consults within appropriate timeframes - Applies the accepted protocols for assessment and treatment of various Geriatric Diseases/Conditions - Serves as a subject matter expert regarding geriatrics leads and promotes educational initiatives and teaching sessions to train and educate primary care and specialty staff - Participates in developing and conducting quality improvement projects within the facility - Provides Geriatrics follow up visits and consultations in outpatient clinics - Attends and participates in hospital committee meetings and initiatives related to specialty such as delegated by leadership/service line chief - There may be a need for intermittent coverage of aspects of the Geriatrics Service in times of need We'll put each as
- .
Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency training, proficiency in English) and Preferred Experience (prefer board certified or board eligible Hospice and Palliative Care/Geriatrician fellowship trained physicians). Also mention "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." Also "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." Also reference link.
We'll put as

Skills: Not explicitly listed; maybe we can omit Skills section if no specific skills.
Benefits: includes EDRP details, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract, plus maybe "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package". Also "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 VISN7EDRPFacilityCoordinators2@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator for questions/assistance". Also "Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases" but that's Pay section.
Thus Benefits section: EDRP eligibility details, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract details.
Pay section: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". Also maybe mention "Sign-on Bonus"? Actually that's under Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized Education Debt Reduction Program (Student Loan Repayment). That's more about incentive, but could be part of Benefits. However we already have Pay separate. We'll keep Pay as given.
Schedule: Monday-Friday 7:30am-4:00pm.
Now ensure we don't include boilerplate like "Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis and qualified candidates will be considered as vacancies become availableApplications will remain on file until September 30 - 2026". That's not a section heading; it's procedural info. Should we include? It's substantive info about application timeline. The instruction: remove application instructions. This is about application timeline, maybe considered application instruction. It says "remove ... application instructions". So we should drop that.
Also remove "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" maybe keep as part of Benefits.
