We need to output HTML fragment with headings

for sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content. Must not repeat job title. Must not include Job ID etc. Must preserve all substantive info, remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, duplicated lines, application instructions. Must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". Must prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. We need to parse the posting. Key content: - Summary: Eastern Colorado Health Care System recruiting a Physician to serve as Infectious Diseases Section Chief. ID Section works with University partners, provides care across outpatient/inpatient, education to trainees, research/scholarship. Seek servant leader balancing progress with humility, commitment to veterans. - Qualifications: Basic Requirements: US Citizenship, MD/DO degree from VA-approved school, current full unrestricted license, residency training approved by Secretary of VA in accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification. Details about approved residencies: ACGME/AOA, or 1 year post med school + 2 years independent practice, or non-US residency + 3 years independent practice, etc. Exceptions: residents can be PRPs, etc. Proficiency in spoken/written English. Reference link. - Duties: This is an open and continuous announcement... (some of that is boilerplate about announcement timing, but we need to keep substantive duties). The duties list enumerated 1-13. Also mention: "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards package" then details: Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases Paid Time Off: 50-55 days of paid time off per year (26 days annual leave - 13 days 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 Work Schedule: Monday through Friday - 8am to 4:30pm We need to decide sections: About the role (summary), Responsibilities (duties), Requirements/Qualifications (maybe combine), Benefits (the total rewards), Pay (maybe part of benefits?), Schedule (work schedule). The instruction says prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one section (maybe "Requirements") and Benefits/Pay/Schedule could be separate if they have specific content. But we could also combine Pay and Benefits into one "Compensation and Benefits" but headings are prescribed: we must use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says use those headings; but we can omit sections if no real specific content. So we need to decide which headings to include based on content. We have content for About the role (summary). Responsibilities (duties list). Requirements (basic requirements). Qualifications (maybe same as requirements? The posting has a "Qualifications" heading then lists basic requirements. Could treat as Qualifications. But we might combine Requirements and Qualifications into one to avoid thin sections. However the instruction says prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. So we could have About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements/Qualifications (maybe as "Requirements"), Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's 5 sections. Could we combine Pay and Benefits? The posting has separate details: Pay: Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases. Benefits: PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract, etc. Could combine into a single "Benefits" section that includes pay details as part of benefits. But the instruction says we must use headings exactly as listed if we include them. It doesn't forbid combining content under a heading that is not exactly listed? It says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). That suggests those are the allowed headings. We can choose to include any of them. If we include Pay, we must put pay details under that heading. If we include Benefits, we put benefits details. Could we omit Pay and put pay details under Benefits? That would be okay if we don't include a Pay heading. But we would lose the Pay heading; but we could still convey pay info under Benefits. The instruction: "include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text". So if we include Pay heading, we must have real specific content for pay. The posting does have pay content: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". That's specific enough. So we could include Pay. Similarly Benefits: we have specific content. Schedule: we have specific content (Monday-Friday 8am-4:30pm). So we could include all three: Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's three sections plus About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements (or Qualifications). That's 6 sections. Could we combine Requirements and Qualifications? The posting has a "Qualifications" heading then lists basic requirements. There's no separate "Requirements" heading besides that. So we could just have Qualifications section. The instruction says we can use Requirements heading if we have content. But we don't have a separate Requirements section besides what's under Qualifications. So we could either use Qualifications heading only, or we could use Requirements heading and put the same content. To avoid thin sections, we could just use Qualifications. That's one section. Thus sections: About the role, Responsibilities, Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. That's six. Check if we have Skills section content: none. So omit Skills. Now we need to format. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "Physician" (Infectious Diseases Section Chief). We'll not include that. We must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; none present. We must remove boilerplate: lines like "This is an open and continuous announcement which will remain open until the position is filledApplications will be accepted on an ongoing basis and qualified candidates will be considered as receivedApplications will remain on file until 30 September 2026Interested in a career that offers a true work-life balance? Look no further! The VA Rocky Mountain Network (VISN 19) offers a balance of professional and clinical complexity that stimulates growth yet also allows the professional an opportunity to enjoy life outside of work". Some of that is fluff but also includes work-life balance statement. Might be considered boilerplate? The instruction: remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The announcement timing and open until filled could be considered application instructions? It's about application process. Likely we should remove that. Also the sentence about work-life balance maybe fluff but could be considered part of About the role? It's not specific to role; it's generic. Might be considered boilerplate. Safer to remove it. Keep only substantive role description: "The Eastern Colorado Health Care System (ECHCS) is recruiting a Physician to serve as our next Infectious Diseases Section Chief. The ID Section - working in collaboration with our University partners - provides care across outpatient and inpatient locations - education to trainees - and engages in a broad range of research and scholarship. We seek a servant leader who balances progress with humility and who shares our commitment to veterans and those who care for them." Now Duties: we need to keep the enumerated duties (1)-(13). Also maybe the earlier sentences about "Incumbent will be a member of the Medical Service and will participate in patient care - teaching and administrative activities as assignedThey will function as an independent physician provider - and they will provide medical care in the spectrum of their field of training and privileging and in all aspects of patient care including inpatient/outpatient care". That's part of duties. We'll include that as prose before the list. We need to format duties as
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we should turn the enumerated list into
    • items. Also the preceding prose can be

      . Now Qualifications: we need to list basic requirements. Could be a

      • list. The text includes many details; we should preserve all substantive information. We'll break into items maybe each requirement as a list item. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We'll keep the details as given, maybe as separate paragraphs or list items. Since it's a list of requirements, we can use
        • . We'll need to capture each bullet: US Citizenship, MD/DO degree from VA-approved school, current full unrestricted license, residency training approved by Secretary of VA in accredited core specialty training program leading to eligibility for board certification, then the details about approved residencies (three options), exceptions, proficiency in English. We'll keep them as list items, preserving the details. Now Benefits: we have a block: "VA offers a comprehensive total rewards packageVHA Physician Total RewardsRecruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized 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 Work Schedule: Monday through Friday - 8am to 430pm" We need to separate Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The block includes Pay, Benefits, Schedule all together. We need to parse. Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases" Benefits: PTO, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract. Schedule: Monday through Friday - 8am to 4:30pm. Also there is "Recruitment/Relocation Incentives (Sign-on Bonus): Authorized Pay:" maybe that's part of Pay. Thus we will create: maybe not needed; just headings and content. We'll output:
