We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? There's Clinical Duties, Administrative Duties, Education Duties. Could combine as Responsibilities. Requirements/Qualifications: Basic Requirements, Additional Requirement, Physical Requirements, etc. Benefits: Pay, Work Schedule, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract. Also EDRP info maybe part of Benefits? It's a program. Could be under Benefits or separate. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have content for: Qualifications (basic requirements, additional, physical). Responsibilities (clinical, administrative, education). Benefits (pay, schedule, PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract). Also EDRP info maybe under Benefits or separate section "Education Debt Reduction Program". But we can include under Benefits as part of "Benefits". However we need headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. The instruction says use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can choose which to include. We should not repeat job title. We need to preserve all substantive info. We need to decide sections: Probably "Qualifications" for basic requirements etc. "Responsibilities" for duties. "Benefits" for pay, schedule, PTO, retirement, insurance, licensure, CME, malpractice, contract. Also maybe "Education Debt Reduction Program" could be under Benefits or separate but not in list; but we can include under Benefits as a bullet. We must not create Pay/Schedule sections unless posting actually states them. It does state Pay: Competitive salary..., Work Schedule: Full-time schedule. So we could include separate Pay and Schedule sections per instruction list, but they said prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones. Could combine Pay and Schedule into Benefits. But they gave list of possible headings; we can choose to include Pay and Schedule as separate if we want, but they said prefer few substantive sections. I'd combine into Benefits. Thus sections: Qualifications, Responsibilities, Benefits. Under Qualifications: list basic requirements (citizenship, degree, license, residency training, proficiency English, board certified/eligible orthopedic surgeon, physical requirements). Could break into sub-sections? Not required; just use
  • . We'll list each requirement as li. Under Responsibilities: list Clinical Duties, Administrative Duties, Education Duties. Could be separate subheadings? Not required but could use

    ? Not allowed; only h3 for section headings. So we can just list items under Responsibilities. Under Benefits: include EDRP info, Pay, Work Schedule, Paid Time Off, Retirement, Insurance, Licensure, CME, Malpractice, Contract. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Remove duplicated lines.

Now we need to output HTML fragment with

    headings and
    • for lists,

      for prose. We'll have sections:

      Qualifications

        ...

      Responsibilities

        ...

      Benefits

        ...
      We need to ensure we don't include headings with empty content. Now decide how to structure lists: For Qualifications, many items are paragraphs; we can still put each as
    • containing the text (maybe with

      inside? but rule: use

      • for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

        for prose. So each requirement can be an

      • . If the requirement contains multiple sentences, still okay inside
      • . We'll not add extra

        inside

      • unless needed for prose separate from list. Probably fine. For Responsibilities, we have three categories; we could make each duty as
      • . Could also group but fine. For Benefits, each benefit as
      • . Now ensure we preserve all substantive info. Let's copy text exactly but maybe adjust punctuation. Check for duplicated lines: We'll avoid repeating. Now produce HTML. Let's craft. Qualifications list items: - 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.
