We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes Summary (description), Qualifications, Duties, Work Schedule, Pay, Benefits (Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract). Also maybe "Recruitment Incentive/Relocation: Not Authorized" but that's not a benefit; we can include in Benefits? It says not authorized, but we should not include placeholder like "Not Authorized"? The instruction: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a 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 the posting actually states them. "Not Authorized" is specific content (states not authorized). Should we include? It's a recruitment incentive/relocation: Not Authorized. That's specific. Could include under Benefits? Might be better to include a short paragraph under Benefits? But the instruction says "Benefits" section only if posting actually states them. It does state benefits: Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract, plus Recruitment Incentive/Relocation: Not Authorized. So we can include Benefits section with those details. We also have Work Schedule: 8am - 4:30pm. So include Schedule section. Pay: "Competitive salary - annual performance bonus - regular salary increases". That's specific enough. We need headings: About the role (maybe from Summary), Responsibilities (maybe Duties), Qualifications, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Could also include "Requirements" but Qualifications covers. Use

for each section heading. We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include the details from Summary, Qualifications, Duties, Work Schedule, Pay, Benefits. We need to use
  • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for Qualifications we have many bullet-like items; we can turn them into
    • . For Duties we have a list after "Major duties include - but are not limited to:" we can turn each bullet into
    • . For Benefits we have list items: Paid Time Off..., Retirement..., Insurance..., Licensure..., CME..., Malpractice..., Contract..., Recruitment Incentive/Relocation: Not Authorized. Could be list. We need to use

      for prose. So any paragraph text not in list should be

      . We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. The posting didn't have that. We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler text. All sections have content. Let's extract content. Summary paragraph: "The Staff Nephrologist works as a member of an interdisciplinary team that includes nephrologists - advanced practice providers (APPs) - fellows and other trainees - nurses - dialysis personnel - and other health care professionals. The physician is responsible for providing comprehensive - high-quality nephrology care to Veterans served by the Durham VA Health Care System and for maintaining the knowledge - credentials - and clinical privileges necessary to fulfill assigned responsibilities."
