We need to decide sections.
Potential sections:
- About the role: summary paragraph about EDRP eligibility and program details.
- Responsibilities: list of duties.
- Requirements: basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency, English proficiency). Could also include additional requirement board certified/eligible? But that is more qualification/preferred experience.
- Qualifications: preferred experience and additional requirements (board certified/eligible, geriatrics/palliative care experience, team-based care, symptom management, education, QA, >3 years VA experience, VA HBPC experience).
- Skills: maybe list of skills like team-based care, complex symptom management, education, quality assurance, etc. But we already have qualifications covering similar. Could combine.
- Benefits: EDRP, recruitment/relocation incentives, paid time off, retirement, insurance, CME, malpractice, contract, licensure.
- Pay: competitive salary, annual performance bonus, regular salary increases.
- Schedule: Monday-Friday 8:00am-4:30pm.
We must not create sections with placeholder text. Ensure each has content.
We need to avoid duplication.
Let's craft.
First, About the role: include summary about EDRP eligibility, program details, contact.
Paragraph: "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 are ineligible to apply. For questions/assistance contact vhaedrpprogramsupport@va.gov - the EDRP Coordinator."
Also mention recruitment/relocation incentives? That could be in Benefits.
Now Responsibilities: list of duties as bullet list.
Requirements: basic requirements list.
Qualifications: preferred experience list.
Skills: maybe we can skip if overlapping; but we could include a Skills section for things like "team-based care, complex symptom management, education, quality assurance". However we already have qualifications covering those. To avoid thin sections, maybe we combine qualifications and skills into one? But the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 7 sections. That's fine.
We need to ensure we don't create sections with placeholder like "Skills" if we don't have specific content beyond what's already in Qualifications. But we could still have Skills if we have distinct content. Let's see if there is distinct skill content not covered: "Demonstrated ability to educate others", "Experience with complex symptom management", "Prior experience in quality assurance", "Extensive experience in team-based care settings". Those are qualifications/experience. Could be considered skills. But we can put them
for prose. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
